Description
This delicate and quite detailed general map extends from northern Japan to Timor and from India to New Guinea.
There are very good details of towns and trade routes in modern-day Uzbekistan. The region here is labeled as "Usbecs," and is part of the region of "Tartarie Independente"
The important cities of the Silk Road are mentioned Bokara (Bukhara), Samarcand (Samarkand), Taskent (Tashkent), etc.
The map is noteworthy as it is one of the few maps showing the trade "Silk" roads starting at Chatcheou (Chang'an) at the Chinese Wall going to Bocara/ Kabul; among other routes going from Lassa to Agra, Pekin (Peking) to Kol (Russia) and up, etc.
Here, the Terre de Yeco in northern Japan is still joined to the mainland as a peninsula, and much of the interior of China is shown according to Jesuit surveys.
The outline of Borneo retains it globular form as shown on older mapping.
The map is of interest for the the sea between Korea and Japan, here called "Mer Orientale ou Mer de Corée".
Zacharie Chatelain (d.1723) was the father of Henri Abraham (1684-1743) and Zacharie Junior (1690-1754).
They worked as a partnership, publishing the Atlas Historique, Ou Nouvelle Introduction A L’Histoire … under several Chatelain imprints, depending on the Chatelain family's partnerships at the time of publication.
The atlas was published in seven volumes between 1705 and 1720, with a second edition appearing in 1732. The maps were accompanied by information on cosmography, geography, history, chronology, genealogy, topography, heraldry, and the world's costume.
