Summary
| Description |
English: "Moluccæ Insulæ Celeberrimæ". Blaeu's map, which first appeared in 1630 in the Atlantis Appendix., was the first large-scale, detailed map of the now Dutch-controlled islands. It shows the heavily forested nature of the islands and the recently constructed forts. The inset map shows the island of Batjan. The border decoration of the inset has on one side mariner's instruments and on the other instruments of war. There are several ships both European and Asian as well as a couple of sea monsters. There is a sea battle near Ternate where the Dutch defeated the Portuguese. |
