wo The two maps curiously showing the northern island of Japan, Hokkaido (IESSO) in two different versions.
Though the coast of Manchuria extends much too far eastward, “Jeso” is correctly depicted as an
island. With very decorative cartouches in upper left- and right-hand corners engraved by N.Guerard. The
map engraved by Herman van Loon and dedicated to the Childern of France features a Chinese gentleman
watching a European-looking lady apparently eating a plate of spaghetti. Various notes and legends acknowledge
Witsen, the Jesuits and the Academic Royale des Sciences as sources. With regards to the massively
inflated north-eastern corner of the continent, a note states that “these lands and islands are known to those
who sail between China and Nouvelle Espagne” (Mexico). Australia does not appear, but New Guinea is
curiously identified as “Nouvelle Zeelande”. - Sweet, Mapping the continent of Asia, 56 & 83.
