“Chinae, olim Sinarum regionis, nova descriptio. auctore Ludovicio Georgio”
Published in Antwerp in 1608-12.
The most decorative map of China. Oriented with north to the right.
There are cartouches for the title, scale and privilege; on the map are elephants, Tartar tents and land-yachts.
Japan has an extra landmass to the east, with its further reaches hidden by the scale cartouche.
The Philippines appear, but with little accuracy or detail; they were not even named until the second state (c.1588).
WALTER: 11f, illus; VAN DEN BROECKE: 164, state 3 of 3, with the Philippines named and some extra strengthening of the engraving.
