Antique Map of Asia by A. Blondeau, circa 1800

About the Item

This is a fine circa 1800 map of Asia by Alexandre Blondeau. It covers the entire continent from Africa and the Mediterranean east to the Bering Sea and south as far as Java and New Guinea. This map is most interesting in its rendering of the largely unexplored extreme northwest of Asia. Knowledge of this area was, at the time, speculative at best. Showa a misshapen representation of Japan, Hokkaido, Sakhalin Island, Kamchatka and Korea.
