"The Island of Celebes, or Macassar with the Islands of Banda, Amboyna, and the Molucca's, Agreeable to Modern History", Moll, Herman

An engraved chart of the East Indies that includes the eastern part of Indonesia from eastern Borneo to New Guinea. The map provides a detailed view of numerous islands, including the famous Spice Islands that were once the heart of the Dutch spice trade and economic domination of the region. The title is in simple block style cartouche. A fine example of Moll's characteristic bold engraving.
