Beautiful map of South East Asia from Burma to Northern Australia showing Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and contiguous islands, published by Vincenzo Coronelli in Venice. Richly embellished by cartouche at lower left with title on drape, carried by mermaids and a second ornamental insert at top right with four scales.
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli is widely recognised as one of Italy’s most famous and greatest cartographers. He received an ecclesiastical education at the convent of the Minor Conventuals and also studied theology in Rome. However, his interests in geography and cartography were awoken early in his ecclesiastical career and never suppressed. He made very famous globes (including an impressive very large-scale pair for Louis XIV) and some of the most interesting and decorative atlases of all 17th century like Atlante Veneto, Isolario, Corso Geografico Universale, Libro dei Globi and also some pocket books about towns and islands. These important works are all finely engraved in his unique style with high quantity of toponymic and historical information. In 1680 Coronelli also founded the oldest surviving geographical society “The Argonauts Academy”.
