Description

original hand-colour copper engraving, later enhancement. RARE map centering on the archipelago of the Philippines, stretching from Indonesia to Northern Australia (“Nuova Olanda”) and New Guinea. “Cantelli’s map of northern Australia is important as it includes several observations not found in contemporary Dutch maps, including record of Torres’ voyages and the correct placement of Trial Rocks” (Clancy).
