Impensis Homannianorum Heredum A 1744., Homann & Heirs, 1744 A crisp, hand-colored map for the vast continent, with amazing precision for the period. From the remote reaches of Kamchatka and Asiatic Russia, to Japan, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia, the form and scale of the geography is familiar and reasonably distorted. The Middle East likewise is well detailed for towns and major terrain, with even some roads included. Even areas like the Caspian Sea which was late to be charted is here shown quite recognizably. Condition is very good. Image size is approximately 19.25 x 21.25 (inches)
