"Nuova, et Accurata Carta dell' Isole Filippine, Ladrones, e Moluccos, o Isole delle Speziarie Come Anco Celebes &c.", Tirion/Albrizzi

Fine chart of the Philippines and the eastern part of Indonesia reflecting the Dutch interests in the region. The map provides a detailed view of hundreds of tiny islands, including the famous Spice Islands, that were once the heart of the Dutch spice trade and economic domination of the region. The places depicted include the Mariana Islands, here called Ladrones (based on Magellan's voyage) with Guam; the Caroline and Palau Islands called Nieuwe Fillippynsche Eilenden; a large portion of Papua New Guinea; the islands of eastern Indonesia, called Moluccos and Specery Eilenden; and the eastern tip of Java and Borneo.
