        Jan Huygen van Linschoten (1563 - 1611)

        Est: ₱1,000,000 - ₱1,300,000

        PROPERTY FROM THE VILEM CYRIL WILHELM COLLECTION Map Title (Translated) : ‘The true depiction or illustration of all the coasts and lands of China, Cochin China, Cambodia, Siam, Malacca, Arracan and Pegu, likewise of all the adjacent islands, large and small, together with the cliffs, riffs, sands, dry parts and shallows; all taken from the most accurate sea charts and rutters in use by the Portuguese pilots today'. dated 1638 copper engraving 15" x 20" (38 cm x 51 cm) CONDITION REPORT: Fair but stained/ discolored, typical however for Linschoten maps as only a very few are in original condition. Provenance: Antiquarian Bookseller & Print Dealer, Amsterdam, 1980. WRITE UP: First Accurate Map of the Far East: Rare and Sought-After Van Linschoten Map Described as “The first accurate map of the Far East; A scarce and very sought after map from Jan Huyghen van Linschoten's legendary Itinerario.” The cartographer Jan Huygen van Linschoten “was for five years in the service of the archbishop of Goa whom he accompanied on his journeys in the region of the Indian Ocean.” In addition, “This map, a continuation of Linschoten's map of the Northen Indian Ocean on the same scale, covers the entire Far East, from Java to Japan. A scale of degrees is provided along the upper and lower edge, indicating latitude at intervals of 5°. A cartouche in the upper right corner contains a bilingual title summarizing the territories depicted here. A cartouche in the middle along the upper edge contains scale bars in Dutch and Spanish miles and below these the name of the engraver with the year and the date of the design. The seas contain drawings of ships and sea monsters as well as two fully drawn compass roses. Map experts have further described “This map of 1595 is one of the earliest engraved maps presenting the Portuguese knowledge of this area with such accuracy. The left half of Petrus Plancius's 1592 map of the Moluccas served as the model for the depiction of the Philippines, a large part of the present-day Indonesian archipelago, and the islands lying in between up to the Tropic of Cancer. When composing his map, Plancius made use of manuscript maps by the Portuguese cosmographer and mapmaker Bartolomeu Lasso…A notable improvement over the older maps is the completion of the mapping of the Philippines. When the Spanish administration was moved from Goa to Manila, the gaps in knowledge about this island archipelago were considerably reduced, and existing information was improved. These advances in knowledge reached Europe through Portuguese maps and found their way into the printed maps, among other sources. Plancius's map and the map in the Itinerario must be counted among the earliest ones to reflect the up-dated information on the Philippines into account.
