East Indies. Mercator (Gerard & Hondius Jodocus , Insulae Indiae Orientalis Praecipuae In quibus Moluccae celeberrimae sunt, Amsterdam, circa 1620, engraved map with contemporary hand-colouring and some later enhancement, central fold strengthened and repaired on verso, two tape repairs to the left-hand margin on the verso, 345 x 475 mm, Latin text on verso A striking map of Southeast Asia and the Spice Islands. It clearly shows the influence of the Dutch East India Company, which extended from the Philippines to Timor, Sumatra and New Guinea. The annotation “Huc Franciscus Dra. Appulit” on the southern coast of Java, acknowledges Francis Drake's landing during his circumnavigation of the globe in 1577-80 and is one of the few maps to record this achievement.
