Description
original hand-colour steel engraving map from the first edition of the ‘New General Atlas’, published in 1817. A large map of the Dutch East Indies, Indochina and the Philippines. “Pinang” (Penang), “Bankok” (Bangkok), “Manilla” (Manila), and the Strait of “Sincapore” (Singapore) are marked. The Paracel islands are indicated to be much closer to the coast of Cochinchina (part of modern-day Vietnam) than is actually the case.
