REINER AND JOSUA OTTENS (1698-1750 and 1704-1765)
[Asia] Partie de la Nouvelle grande Carte des Indes Orientales, contenant les terres du Mogul, Surata, Malabar... Camboje... & une partie de la Chine. Amsterdam: 1745. Four hand-coloured engraved maps making up a wallmap of Asia extending from Pakistan and the Maldives to New Guinea and Guam, each sheet 540 x 640mm. Titled on upper margin and numbered 1-4, scale bars, four compass roses, lower two sheets each with three inset local maps of Couchen, Colombo, Soerabaye, Sumbawa, Solor and Bouton. (Old creases along sheet centre folds.) Window mounts.
A rare set of Dutch maps of Asia, published to form a wallmap of the continent. The Ottens brothers in 1725 took over the business established by their father Joachim Ottens. Joachim had earlier acquired many copper plates from Adrien Reland, and the sons continued to purchase plates from other Amsterdam mapmakers such as Louis Renard. The prototypes of the four sheets that make up this wallmap were first published as separate sheets from 1730.
