Indiae Orientalis nec non Insularum Adiacentium nova descriptio, Nicolas Visscher, Amsterdam, 16571657

by Nicolas Visscher

First included in Jansson's Novus Atlas 1657-58, this map shows the East Indies, north coast of Australia, Carpentaria, and Nova Guinea. 
Tasman's second voyage of discovery in 1644 is indicated. A lavish cartouche depicts the exotic riches the Dutch found in the East Indies.
