Note there are geographical inaccuracies such as Cambodia placed west of Siam [i.e. Thailand] and the general disproportions can be attributed to the naive engraving style of the 17th century. Several Chinese provinces are however named and delineated with considerable accuracy. Also includes a number of pictorial features such as ships and a decorative cartouche at the bottom right. Relief is shown pictorially. N1 - Cartouche title. N1 - Dedication on cartouche: To the Hon.bl.
