95 x 130 mm., in full wash colour, in good condition.
An early map of Indo-China and the Malay Peninsula orientated with north to the right. It was published in a revised and expanded edition by Petrus Bertius of Barent Langenes' 'Caert Thresoor', here entitled 'Tabularum Geographicarum Contractarum'. The maps were all newly engraved by Jodocus Hondius. This is an example of the first edition from 1616 with Latin text. Bertius was the librarian of the University of Leyden and related to Hondius by marriage. The maps were slightly larger in size and the book was dedicated to King Louis XIII of France. Several place names are found from from present day Vietnam through Cambodia, Siam (Thailand) and the peninsula of Malacca. The map is finished with longitude and latitude scales in the border.
