This was the first of Blaeu's maps of China. In 1655 he was to publish the famous map of Father Martini, with many of the earlier inaccuracies present on this map corrected: the outline of Japan was improved and Korea was correctly shown as a peninsula instead of, as here, an island. The map includes an attractive cartouche bottom left with coat of arms and dedication to Theodore Bas, director of the V.O.C.
