¤ Carte représentant le nord de l'Inde, le Bangladesh et l'actuel Pakistan.
- Copper engraved map of the region of modern day Pakistan, northern India and Bangladesh.
The map was first issued by Jan Jansson and re-issued by Valk and Schenk who purchased the original plates. The Indus and Ganges rivers are the most prominent features of the map, along with the large imaginary lake located in northern Burma.
This lake's origins are linked to Hindu-Buddhist mythology and appeared on maps, in some form, up until the early 20th century. Wild beasts, including lions, tigers and elephants, roam the interior, while a ship sails in the Indian Ocean.
The map is further embellished with a large title cartouche flanked by two finely dressed gentlemen, and a strapwork distance scale.

Fine map of the southern islands of the Philippines prepared by Jacques Nicolas Bellin (1703-1772) who was one of the most important and proficient French cartographers of the mid-eighteenth century. He was appointed the first Ingénieur Hydrographe de la Marine, and also Official Hydrographer to the French King.
In smaller format, he issued the Petit Atlas Maritime (1764), which contained 580 charts, as well as maps to illustrate l"Abbe Prévost's Histoire Generale des Voyages (1746-1757). Bellin also produced a substantial number of important separately issued maps, particularly reflecting continuing discoveries and political events in the Americas.
His maps and charts were finely engraved and produced, and set a high standard of accuracy.
