Coronelli's map of Southeast Asia with the northern part of Australia, centred around Borneo. Verso a smaller map (22x28cm) of the adjoining western region up to Ceylon with Malaysia at centre. Published by Coronelli in his Isolario, descrittione di tutte l'isole 1696 in Venice.

Some occasional spotting, light browning around centrefold, small repaired wormtrack right to lower centrefold. A very good copy.
