¤ Carte représentant le nord de l'Inde, le Bangladesh et l'actuel Pakistan.
- Showing 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.

The panoramic view of Goa is showing Albuquerque’s armada bombarding the town, an event that actually happened the year after the date on this engraving. The impediments in the channel (foreground) may have been defenses against his ships. Goa’s shipyards can be seen to the right of the town, enclosed by a wall that runs down into the channel.
