EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricate and detailed chart of the trading part of the East Indies and China, with the adjacent islands, from Surrat to Japan, dating back to 1677, is a fascinating glimpse into the maritime history of that era. Created by John Seller in partnership with Thornton, Fisher, Atkinson, and Colson as part of 'The English Pilot', this map showcases the English navigation routes in Asia during the 17th century.
With borders graduated for latitude and bar scales in various measurements including English leagues and Dutch miles, this chart was an essential tool for sailors navigating through these treacherous waters. The inclusion of an inset featuring Japan adds another layer of detail to this already comprehensive map.
As we study this print today at the National Maritime Museum in London, we are transported back in time to an age when exploration and trade flourished across distant lands. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail displayed on this map serve as a testament to the skill and dedication of cartographers during that period.
This print not only serves as a historical artifact but also as a work of art that captures the essence of early maritime navigation in Asia. It stands as a reminder of our enduring fascination with maps and exploration throughout history.
