Beautiful map of South East Asia from Burma to Northern Australia showing all the islands a little closer together than in reality - Hainan is next to the Philippines, and the Philippines are very close to Celebes. Ornamental cartouche at lower left with title on drape, carried by mermaids. Four scales at top right. Coronelli was possibly the best Italian mapmaker of his time. He made globes, including one 5 metres in diameter for Louis XIV.

The map itself is in very good condition, top margin has been cropped to about 5mm from edge of map. Slightly darkened centrefold, wormhole at centre.
