Map title: Map title: Asia, Partium Orbis Maxima /Antwerp/ 1593
Description: Finely colored of Gerard De Jode's map of Asia, published in his Speculum Orbis Terrae, in 1593. There is no sign of Korea and the shape of Japan is quite unusual. The Great Wall of China is shown enveloping the northern Chinese border. The map is also apparently the earliest appearance of the name Formosa (I. Fermosa) on a map printed in Europe. Title in decorative panel at the top with strapwork and two heads, seas with galleys, ships, sea monsters, fishermen; hunting men and tents on land. This map notes that it was done by Gerard De Jode himself.
