Summary

This map, based on Cantelli’s own reports as well as the surveys of Martini, influenced the larger Coronelli map also on display. Cantelli depicts relief and features like the Great Wall pictorially. Peking is clearly indicated. Korea is a peninsula, per Martini. Taiwan (Formosa) includes the Dutch settlement N. Zelanda. Japan's main islands are shown, except for Hokkaido. An elaborate cartouche features the seated figure of the Kangxi emperor or Great Khan.
