Created by William Herbert, this map showcases borders graduated for latitude, soundings, and additional places such as the Andaman Sea, Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Sumatra. The scale of approximately 1:4 500 000 provides a comprehensive view of this important region in Asia during that time period.
The historical significance of this print cannot be understated - it offers a glimpse into the cartography and exploration efforts of the era. From trade routes to geopolitical boundaries, every detail on this map tells a story of seafaring adventures and cultural exchanges between nations.
As you gaze upon this piece hanging proudly on your wall or displayed in your home or office space, let yourself be transported back in time to an age when maps were not just tools for navigation but works of art that captured the imagination and curiosity of explorers around the world.
