EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning and intricately detailed "Map of Asia, Tartaria, Japan, the Philippines and the East Indies". Engraved by G. van Gouwen around 1690, this colored engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into cartography during that era. Spanning an impressive size of 49.6x58.4 cm, this map takes us on a visual journey through various regions of Asia. From Arabia to Russia, Persia to the Mogul Empire, every corner is meticulously depicted with accuracy and precision. The inclusion of camels in Arabia adds an authentic touch to the scene. The central focus of the map lies on Japan and the Philippines along with their neighboring islands in the East Indies. A beautifully designed cartouche adorns these areas, showcasing intricate patterns and ornate details that reflect artistic mastery. Amidst all these geographical wonders lie hidden treasures waiting to be discovered - symbols representing loot collected from distant lands by explorers or conquerors. This serves as a reminder of past expeditions undertaken in search of wealth and power. Notably intriguing is the depiction of Yedso (now known as Hokkaido), which was believed to be an island kingdom at that time but later turned out to be part of mainland Japan. Overall, this enchanting print invites viewers into a world where exploration meets artistry; where knowledge merges with imagination; where history unfolds before our eyes.
