Additional Details

This map was also based on a Japanese source - see preceding lot. The map is pulled from the same plate used for the Utrecht issue published by Broedelet in 1715. The Ottens family purchased the plate and added the Ottens imprint, otherwise it is exactly the same. It appeared in the seventh volume of the Otten Atlas maior. The inset of Nagasaki Bay is of interest. Walter 68; Campbell 42 (Broedelet issue); Cortazzi, pl. 78 (Broedelet issue).
