CORONELLI, V.M. - Isola del Giapone e penisola di Corea.

A most attractive and decorative map by Vincenzo Coronelli. An elaborate central title cartouche garlanded with intertwined flowers and dedicated to the Rev.de Fontaine of the Society of Jesus. The delineation of Japan is on the standard Martini model although Hokkaido, then known as Yedo is shown as part of Tartary. A larger rather westernised oared barge fills the ocean between Korea and the Islands with remarks on the distance between Osaka and Nagasaki.
