| Magnificent Dutch sea chart of Sri Lanka (Ceylon) decorated with two large cartouches, rhumb lines, compass roses, and several sailing ships. The area in the southwest of the island marked in pink is the region where cinnamon, an extremely valuable commodity at the time, could be grown and harvested. Vibrant original hand-colour. [IC2686] |
