Description
Beautifully engraved map of South East Asia, the Philippines and the Indonesian Spice Islands. Published in Amsterdam around the year 1744 by Isaak Tirion.
Originates from Nieuwe Hand-Atlas, bestaande in eene Verzameling van eenige naauwkeurige Landkaarten.
The Amsterdam based publisher Isaak Tirion (1705-1769) is known to have produced books, charts and maps for the Dutch mercantile elite. Tirion was primarily a cartographic publisher, who issued several lavish atlases as well as smaller geographical guides (literally 'Hand-Atlas'), from which this attractive map is derived. During his prolific career, Tirion was associated with the Dutch East India Company; in 1757 Willem Udemans, a shipwright and director of the VOC shipyard at Middelburg commissioned Tirion to print a treatise on naval architecture. He also published a Dutch language edition of Commodore Anson's circumnavigation in 1749, a work remarkable for the quality of its maps and charts.
Copperplate with fine later hand colour, added margina t the bottom, otherwise good condition.
