About the Item

Antique map titled 'La rade de Bantam'. (The roadstead of Bantam.) This map shows the Indonesian city of Banten / Bantam on Java, Indonesia and its roadstead. With compass rose and scale.

This famous work was published in 66 parts and is the biggest print / map book ever published. 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.
