"Carte de Tartarie Dressee sur les Relations de Plusieurs Voyageurs de Differentes Nations…", Delisle/Covens & Mortier

An expansive map that includes Russia, Northern China and Tibet, from Novaya Zemla in the north to Afghanistan. The Pacific coast shows a portion of the Terre d'Eso, with the small Isle de Amour shown above, but not Japan. The map is fully engraved with forests and mountains and, for the period, has quite good detail of cities and towns. The Great Wall is graphically depicted, as are the extensive trade routes. A decorative cartouche surrounds the title in the lower left. Titled above map: Magnae Tartariae Tabula.
