"Carte de Tartarie Dressee sur les Relations de Plusieurs Voyageurs de Differentes Nations et sur Quelques Observations...", Delisle/Covens & Mortier

This is Covens & Mortier's edition of Delisle's expansive map that spans from Novaya Zemlya in the north to Afghanistan and includes Russia, Northern China, and Tibet. The Pacific coast shows a portion of the Terre d'Eso, with the small Isle d'Amour shown above. The map is fully engraved with forests and mountains, and it features quite good detail of cities and towns for the period. The Great Wall is graphically depicted, as are the extensive trade routes. A decorative cartouche surrounds the title and features archers and horsemen.
