"Les Isles Philippines, Molucques et de la Sonde", Fer, Nicolas de

This is a very close copy of Nicolas de Fer's map of the islands of Indonesia and the Philippines with a particularly noteworthy inset map of Japan. The main map is primarily based on Sanson's important map of the same title. However the map of Japan shows various influences resulting in a unique shape. Shows the cities and smaller settlements, rivers, mountain chains, and even forests. The equator is marked and latitude and longitude indications are in the borders.

A nice impression with narrow side margins, as issued, and a couple of insignificant spots of foxing.
