£5,000.00

Purpose-prepared composite atlas of the Asian maps that were subsequently used in Tirion’s Nieuwe Hand-Atlas; the maps have been folded to a small format, with three vertical folds and one horizontal folds, which has, almost inevitably, led to separation along the horizontal fold at the junction with the central vertical fold.

The maps are (in binding order): Asia; Moluccas (East Indies); China; Japan; India over de Ganges (Southern Asia); Java, Sumatra and Borneo; India; Ceylon; Persia; Arabia; Africa.
