About the Item

Antique map Indonesia titled 'Kaart van het Eyland Borneo'. Early map of the Island of Borneo. This map originates from 'Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indiën' by F. Valentijn. In the near future, Indonesia is planning to move its capital Jakarta from the island of Java to the Indonesian part of this island, namely Kalimantan. It is the third largest island of the world and the largest of Asia. The island is politically divided among three countries: Malaysia and Brunei in the north, and Indonesia to the south.[1] Approximately 73% of the island is Indonesian territory. In the north, the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak make up about 26% of the island. Additionally, the Malaysian federal territory of Labuan is situated on a small island just off the coast of Borneo. The sovereign state of Brunei, located on the north coast, comprises about 1% of Borneo's land area. A little more than half of the island is in the Northern Hemisphere, including Brunei and the Malaysian portion, while the Indonesian portion spans the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Borneo is home to one of the oldest rainforests in the world. Artists and Engravers: François Valentijn (1666-1727), a missionary, worked at Amboina from 1684 to 1694 and 1705 to 1713 and travelled extensively in the VOC's lands.
