Item description from seller

Original copper-engraved map of Asia (32 x 45 cm. overall) after William Hole's version of 1614, from an edition of Sir Walter Raleigh's "History of the World" (first published in 1614). The map extends from Egypt and Asia Minor in the west to South East Asia in the east. Embellished with compass rose to bottom. A few isolated light spots, generally a very good copy. Early map of the Indian Ocean region, from the Eastern Mediterranean (Alexandria) to Malaysia and Sumatra. Shows The passage of Nimrod and The passage of Ophir en Hauilah into India. Noah's Ark is shown near Mount Ararat. The mythical Chiamay Lake appears in China as the source of four rivers. Raleigh's successful but unfinished history ends with the year 130 BC. This map shows Nimrod's Biblical campaings and other movements of people mentioned in Genesis.
