1770 – T. C. Lotter – Asia Concinnata
300 €
Title: “Asia Concinnata Secundum Observationes Academiae Regalis Scientiarum . . .”
Description:
This nice map embraces the whole of Asia, including the East Indies and the tip of New Guinea. Japan is connected to the mainland by a country identified as Terra Yeco (roughly the location of modern Hokkaido). Further to the Northwest is the fictional ‘Terra de la Compagnie’, while Korea is shown as a peninsula. Eastern Siberia is shown to be complete enigma, as knowledge extends barely beyond the Urals and the Arctic beyond Novaya Zemlya. The map is based on the cartography of Delisle.
