Japoniae Insulae Descriptio Ludoico Teissera acutore. This map, drawn by the Portuguese Jesuit Luiz Teixeira, was the first printed map of Japan to appear in a Western atlas. It shows all of Japan, part of Korea, and part of China. The map is ornated with the title cartouche in the upper center and a decorative scale of milage in the lower right corner. The 'privilegium' is written on the upper right side. Villages and towns are shown as miniature views, and the map is further ornated with 3 ships. This is a copper engraving, finely hand colored in wash and outline. The map is in a double sided frame.
