“Imperii Sinarum Nova Descriptio”
Published in Amsterdam by Schenk & Valk, c.1690.
Decorative map of China, with ornate cartouches for the title and scale.
Van Loon’s map first appeared in Jansson’s ‘Atlas Novus’ in 1658, as a late addition to the atlas which is relatively uncommon.
This example was published by Schenk & Valk from the 1690s, with their names added under the vignette sea battle.
