Item description from seller

1806 ASIA A rare original antique map titled A NEW MAP OF ASIA from the Latest Authorities DESCRIPTION This is John Cary's stunning 1806 map of Asia, Australia, and Polynesia. Covers from the Mediterranean to the Aleutian Islands and from the Arctic to South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. This beautifully rendered map is truly a masterpiece of engraving, with mountain ranges, lakes, deserts, and rivers excited with such precision that the result appears almost three dimensional. Cary injects astounding detail throughout with countless towns, cities, geographical features, rivers, islands and bodies of water noted. In desert regions fresh water sources are noted. In the seas certain shoals and undersea are included. In China and Manchuria the Great Wall appears. Singapore islands is shown but not specifically named. The Liakhov Islands, in northern Siberia, which some believed to be entirely composed of fossil mammoth ivory, are noted as 'Shore Discovered by Hunters.' Published by John Cary. CARTOGRAPHER John Cary (1754 - 1835) was a London based cartographer active in the early part of the 19th century. Ronald Vere Tooley, the prominent English map historian, writes of Cary, As an engraver he was elegant and exact with fine clear lettering and great delicacy of touch. Cary began his work as an engraver, cartographer, and globe maker in 1776 with his 'New and Correct English Atlas'. This important atlas represented a new phase in cartography where accuracy and detail rose in prominence over the decorative embellishments of the 18th century. This change was indicative of the times when travel and commerce were expanding globally as never before. Cary's mastery of both engraving and cartography resulted in a series of seminal works that redefined mapmaking in the early 19th century. His stupendous 'Cary's New Universal Atlas', published in 1808, set the standard for all cartographers who followed. Cary reissue.
