Carte Particuliere de L'Isle Dauphine ou Madagascar oU St. Laurens. Levée par Ordre Expres des Roys de Portugal sous qui on en a Fait la Decouverte. ...

Large engraved chart, 565 x 840 mm, in original outline colour. Evidence of old folds, one short tear repaired.  Amsteram : Pieter Mortier,

The largest printed chart of Madagascar before the nineteenth century, prepared for Mortier's Suite du Neptune Francois, a large format sea-atlas of the world outside Europe; it was principally intended for library, rather than shipboard use, hence the high quality of engraving, and the large (rather unwieldy) format of the individual charts.
