About the Item
Antique map titled 'Idee de l'Isle de Java.'
Well engraved and attractive chart of the island shows all principal harbors and coastal details, plus rivers, mountains and volcanoes, bays, the settlements and villages, and political districts. Locates Batavia (Jakarta). Map also includes Madura Island, most of Bali, the Sunda Strait with the Krakatau Islands, and the southeastern tip of Sumatra. The island is divided into provinces and the kingdoms of Bantam, Tsieribon (Cirebon) and Jacatra (Jakatra). Decorated with a very fancy rococo-style title cartouche and rhumb lines with fleur-de-lys.
