Title of map: 'Carte des Nouvelles Philippines [Map of the New Philippines]'
The image below shows an enlarged cross section from the centre of the map to show the level of printed detail. This map is folding hence the centrefold line may show on the image below:
The map represents the Caroline islands, and probably other Micronesian islands, off the eastern coast of the Philippines and the Moluccas. The distribution of the islands is wildly inaccurate, and the location is much too close to the Philippines themselves.
