"L'Asie". Grenzkol. Kupferstich-Karte in 4 Bll. von P. Duval, Paris, 1684. Mit figürl.-ornament. Titelkartusche und je 1 Titelleiste; seitl. 4 Legenden. Je 40:52 cm.

Scarce wall map by Pierre Duval, first published in 1676/1679; here all sheets with date 1684 . "In 1679 he published four sheet maps of the world and four continents on Mercator's projection. All were designed with individual titles so that they could be viewed indipendently or when these were removed they could be pasted together to form a large wall map. Each sheet also bears descriptive text along the outside border" (Burden, The Mapping of North America, p. 148). - 4 sheets, not joined. Original col. in outline, cartouches uncol. Cleaned and sized, still some waterstaining and mildew spotting to upper image. Repairs to tears and cracks at both ends of centerfold, small loss to each sheet at top of image.

Al Ankary, S. 226: "It is a rare map on which the Arabian Peninsula appears on a large scale"; Pastoureau, S. 136; nicht bei Sweet. - Sehr seltene Wandkarte. Die jeweiligen Blätter wurden auch einzeln herausgegeben und mit eigenständiger Titelleiste (ca. 6 cm hoch) versehen, die beim Zusammensetzten entfallen würde (Gesamtgröße ca. 70:104 cm). Mit Korea als Halbinsel. - Gereinigt u. stabilisiert, obere Bildhälften noch wasser- u. sporenfleckig. Bugeinrisse an beiden Enden bis ins Bild rep., oben jeweils kl. Fehlstellen.
