"A New & Exact Map of Asia Compiled from Surveys & authentick Journals assisted by the most approved modern Maps & Charts…", Bowen, Emanuel

This finely engraved map of Asia and South East Asia is filled with information. Kamchatka appears as a squat peninsula above the island of Yedso (Hokkaido), to the east of which is a large landmass labeled De Gama's Land named for the Portuguese captain who reported sighting land in the northern Pacific in the 17th century. The Sea of Japan is named the Sea of Korea. The direction of trade winds are graphically shown in the oceans. The map is decorated with a title cartouche and a nice compass rose.
