This is a 1920 Dutch East Indies Official Tourist Bureau map of the Padang Highlands in Sumatra. The map depicts the region from the Indian Ocean and the Lake of Manindjau to Sawah Loento and from Soeliki to Boengoes Bay. Numerous cities, towns, and villages are labeled throughout the region. Three different grades of road are illustrated: a high road, a cart road, and a horse path. Railways are also included. Padang itself if situated near the center of the bottom border, very close to the map's key. Rivers, lakes, and mountain peaks are also noted, and the elevation of most of the mountain peaks are given in meters. This map was created for the Dutch East Indies Official Tourist Bureau and published in 1920.

Very good. Slight toning and margin foxing. Size 11 x 13 Inches. This is Jeremiah Greenleaf's 1842 map of the East Indies and Southeast Asia. A Closer Look The map follows the 1835 David H. Burr map of the same region - and may well be the same plate, as we note few if any changes. Coverage embraces Southeast Asia and the East Indies, including Singapore, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and the Philippines. On the mainland, it includes the Kingdoms of Siam (Thailand), Tonquin (North Vietnam), Cochinchina (South Vietnam), Malaya (Malaysia), Pegu (Burma), and Cambodia. Publication History and Census This map is the later Greenleaf issue of the David Hugh Burr / Illman map of 1835. The Burr map plates fell into the hands of Jeremiah Greenleaf, who revised them for publication in his own Universal Atlas . The present example is from the 1842 second Greenleaf edition of the atlas. References: Rumsey 15176.029.

Very good. Even overall toning. Exhibits light offsetting. Blank on verso. Size 10.5 x 11.5 Inches. This is an attractive c.1780 Jacques Nicholas Bellin map of the East Indies. The map depicts from Siam (Thailand) and Tsiompa (modern day Vietnam) south to include the Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. The Malay Peninsula (Malacca), Singapore, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and part of Celebes (Sulawesi), are included. Impressive detail appears along all the coastlines, however little inland information is present, as is common for Bellin's nautical charts. Singapore remains unidentified, but several other lesser islands are noted including Tioman Island (Poulo ou I. Timon) and Penang. A beautifully engraved rocco title cartouche adorns the lower left corner of the map. Publication History and Census This map was created by Jacques Nicholas Bellin and published in 1780 by De la Harpe in his Abrégé de l'Historie générale des Voyages . Four examples are cataloged in OCLC and are part of the institutional collections at Cornell University, the University of Hawaii, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, and the Unversitätsbibliothek München in Munich.

Very good condition. Original centerfold exhibits minor toning. Blank on verso. Size 12 x 16.5 Inches. A beautiful example of Rigobert Bonne's 1771 decorative map the East Indies. Covers from the Gulf of Siam (Gulf of Thailand) and Malacca (Malaysia) eastward to include parts of Sumatra, Java, Borneo, the Celebes, parts of Cambodia, the southern Philippine Islands, and New Guinea. Offers considerable detail of the region. Notes the Straight of Singapore (Det. de Sin Capura) and shows but does not label the island of Singapore. In Borneo, this map provides good detail along the Banjermassin or Barito River, detailing numerous villages and trading stations. Names Bali and Lombok as well as Batavia. Several of the southern islands are drawn with their southern shores ghosted in - suggesting an uncertain coastline. This is also the case with much of New Guinea (Nouvelle Guinee), which was largely unexplored well into the 19th century. Rhumb lines throughout. Arrows in the lower right show the direction of prevailing winds during the dry season and the monsoon season. A fine map of the region. Drawn by R. Bonne in 1771 for issue as plate no. D 26 in Jean Lattre's 1776 issue of the Atlas Moderne . References: Rumsey 2612.056. Phillips (Atlases) 664. National Maritime Museum, 215.

Very good. Slight wear. Some creases and spots of discoloration in the margins. Faded annotations in top-left portion of the map. Size 23 x 34.5 Inches. A beautiful and rare 1839 French Depot-General de la Marine nautical chart or maritime map of the East Indies or Insular Southeast Asia - including Singapore. The size and level of detail is impressive, reflecting the importance of the chart as representing the pinnacle of hydrographical knowledge at the time. A Closer Look Based upon the work of the British hydrographer James Horsburgh, namely his groundbreaking work Directions for sailing to and from the East Indies, China, New Holland, Cape of Good Hope, and the interjacent ports , this elegantly hand-colored map covers Sumatra, Java, and Borneo in full, as well as Malay (Malacca) south of Lancava and parts of the Celebes. It further specifically includes the islands of Singapore (Sincapoor), Bali (Bally), Lombok (Lombock), Krakatoa (Crockatoa), and Komodo (Comodo). Soundings, anchorages, shoals, hazards, and supplementary information on currents, longitude, latitude, and more are indicated. Soundings are measures in brasses , a French unit popular at the time roughly similar to a fathom; a table of conversion to meters is provided at bottom-left. Islands, coastal settlements, and other landward features are noted in fantastic detail. Publication History and Census This chart was prepared by Pierre Daussy in 1839 based on the hydrography of James Horsburgh, engraved by Chassant (no given name known), with text by Jacques-Marie Hacq, under the direction of the Dépôt-général de la Marine. The map was reissued several times through the 1880s with updates and additions, but the date of 1839 and other identifying information (such as 'No. 889' in the top-right corner) remained, leading to a high degree of variation in cataloging which makes a comprehensive census difficult. This edition, presumably the first as it is the least accurate, differs from more widely available examples in several respects, such as the representation of Singapore and the small islands south of Celebes. Nevertheless, in any edition this chart is quite rare, especially with such exquisite hand-coloring. References: OCLC 888127755, 902603727.
