One of the earliest printed detailed charts of Java Large folding engraved map on two sheets joined. The important VOC controlled island of Java, with extensive explanatory text in panels on either side and in banners along the top edge, an inset of Le Port de Batavia appears lower left. The Chatelains based their maps on the work of contemporary and earlier cartographers and travel writers, and the current map is based on Hadriaan Reland's map, which was not published by the Dutch until Johannes van Keulen, issued it as 'Insulae Iavae pars Occidentalis edente Hadriano Relando' in 1728. VOC knowledge of the southern coastline of Java was only extended much later in 1739, when Paulus Paulusz, master-kaartenmaker in Batavia at the time, led an expedition there.

The volcanic island of Krakatau, here identified as Cracatao, which nearly 150 years later would erupt with devastating consequences, appears in the Strait of Sunda between Java and Sumatra. In the lower left side is an inset details the city and port of Batavia. Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684 - 1743) was a Huguenot pastor of Parisian origins. He lived consecutively in Paris, St. Martins, London (c. 1710), The Hague (c. 1721) and Amsterdam (c. 1728). He is best known as a Dutch cartographer and more specifically for his cartographic contribution in the seminal seven volume Atlas Historique, published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720. Innovative for its time, the Atlas Historique combined fine engraving and artwork with scholarly studies of geography, history, ethnology, heraldry, and cosmography. Some scholarship suggests that the Atlas Historique was not exclusively compiled by Henri Chatelain, as is commonly believed, but rather was a family enterprise involving Henri, his father Zacharie and his brother, also Zacharie.
