"[Oh 4 Sheets] Carte Hydro-Geographique des Indes Orientales en deca et au dela du Gange avec leur Archipel", Bonne/Lattre

This impressive, four-sheet map extends from India to China, and as far south as New Guinea and the northern tip of Australia (here called Terre du Sud). In particular, this map shows the increase in knowledge of the East Indies, although several islands are still only partially outlined, including New Guinea, Sumba, and Sumbawa. There is excellent detail of rivers and place names, particularly along the coasts. The oceans are criss-crossed with rhumb lines and arrows denoting the trade winds. The decorative title cartouche fills the empty interior of China on the third sheet.
