Map of the coasts of New Guinea and Australia

Map of the coasts of New Guinea and Australia.

This map is a copy of a chart in the National Archives, The Hague, inv. nr. VEL0493.

The plate is taken from the Blaeu-Van der Hem Atlas.

The map was drawn in 1623 by Arent Martensz. de Leeuw on a voyage of discovery to the unknown Zuidland (South Land). The chart was copied between 1665 and 1668, probably in the studio of Johannes Vingboons.
