This is a beautiful Nicolas Picart edition of the Hondius carte-á-figures map of Asia. It was composed by Jodocus Hondius as early as 1623 and first appeared in the 1630 Hondius atlas. In this case, the map is an entirely new plate engraved in Paris in 1644 by Nicolas Picart. These French editions are beautiful and desirable rarities. (more details)
