AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Borneo Insula (1618)

Very beautiful map by Petrus Bertius of Borneo/Kalimantan. This miniature map of Borneo largely based on the map of Theodore de Bry. The map is oriented with north to the right with the hypothetical eastern coastline and place names primarily derived from Portuguese records. The interior is filled with mountains, forests, and a large river.

References: King (2nd ed.) pp. 96-99; Van der Krogt (Vol. III) #8540:342.


Original hand coloring (this was only done to a very limited number of these atlases).

Published by Hondius in Amsterdam in 1618 in a French edition of ´Géographie raccourcie par Pierre BERTIUS´.

Excellent condition. Original hand coloring (very rare, only a few copies were sold with hand coloring). Never folded. Reverse side text in French
