1738 Map of the Philippines & Eastern Indonesia: Spice Islands by Tirion/Albrizzi
This beautifully hand-colored map from circa 1738, created by Tirion and Albrizzi, showcases the Philippines and the eastern part of Indonesia, reflecting the Dutch colonial interests in the region.
The map features a detailed representation of the numerous islands, including the renowned Spice or Banda Islands, pivotal to the Dutch spice trade.
Key regions include the Philippines (Isole Filippine), the Mariana Islands (Ladrones), with Guam, the Caroline and Palau Islands (Nieuwe Fillippynsche Eilenden), the Moluccas (Moluccos) known as the Spice Islands, the eastern tip of Java and Borneo, and a portion of Papua New Guinea.
