About the Item

Antique map titled 'Les Iles Moluques (..).' (The Moluccan Islands, Maluku, Moluccas, Spice Islands, Indonesia.) Extremely rare in this edition.

Van der Aa incorporated plates by other publishers such as Blaeu, Visscher, de Wit, meurs, Halma, Mortier, Allard in this work and often added broad decorative borders.
