Fine chart of Java and the Sunda Strait from Hendrick Doncker Jr.'s uncommonly scarce issue of De Nieuwe Groote Vermeerderde Zee-Atlas ofte Water-Werelt, seemingly known in a single complete copy.

"After the death of Hendrik Doncker in 1699, his son continued the publication and even enlarged and improved the sea-atlas with, i.e., a number of charts with increasing latitude. In fact, the most important edition of the Nieuwe Groote Vermeerderde Zeeatlas was published by Hendrik, Jr"…"This is the most advanced sea-atlas ever published by Hendrick Doncker and his son".
