Catalogue Note
Essentially a close copy of De Fer's map of c.1700 with some amendments of geographical detail: for example, Petrini shows northeastern Asia after Isbrandt Ides, whereas De Fer shows the earlier (partly fictitious) conceptions of Maarten de Vries and others to the north of Japan.
The embellishments show native inhabitants from each country and social and military events.
