This fine early map of Madagascar is orientated with the east at the top. It is finely engraved by Benjamin Wright to replace the plate in Barent Langenes's original 'Caert-Thresoor' of 1598. This version was used in subsequent editions published by Claesz starting in 1599, this example is from the 1609 with Dutch text to the verso. Van der Krogt, P. (Atlantes) 8900:341B.
