The map was published out of Amsterdam as part of Linschoten’s Itinerario in 1596.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fantastic map depicts the China, Korea as an island, and Japan to the island of Java and Marco Polo’s Beach with an eastward orientation, exceptionally accurate and mythical geographic detail, and a fine array of sea monsters, terrestrial animals, sailing ships, and two fabulous compass roses. Based on the travel accounts of Marco Polo, Linschoten depicts the location of the mythical land of Beach provincia auriferain, where Australia would eventually be discovered. In China, four large lakes are shown in the interior, based on Chinese legend. Korea is depicted as a large circular island and Japan is awkwardly misshapen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile working as a personal secretary to the Portuguese Archbishop of Goa (1583 – 1589), Linschoten obtained numerous maps and documents from various Portuguese sources. In 1589, while traveling back to Portugal from Goa, Linschoten’s ship was pursued by an English fleet and lost its cargo during a storm while anchored off the Azores. Linschoten spent two years in Tercera after being persuaded to help recover the cargo and prepare notes from his time in Goa. A few years after his return home to the Netherlands, he published his maps in Itinerario which would aid the Dutch and the English in discovering trade routes to Asia. The discovery of these routes would ultimately break the century-long trade monopoly controlled by the Portuguese. Linschoten’s experiences and the publication of maps that followed would ultimately become one of the most important travel works of the era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInventory #19063\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"the Vintage Map Shop","offers":[{"title":"15.25 x 21.5 inches - Original Size","offer_id":34581738247,"sku":"19063a","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"17 x 24 inches","offer_id":34581738311,"sku":"19063b","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 x 34 inches","offer_id":34624484231,"sku":"19063c","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 42 inches","offer_id":34624484295,"sku":"19063d","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1404\/2135\/products\/20190709-090103.jpg?v=1571609847"},{"product_id":"1943-target-tokyo-manning","title":"1943 Target Tokyo","description":"\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBy:\u003c\/strong\u003e F.E.

Manning, it is one of the most iconic American WWII propaganda maps to have been published.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThe focus of the map is a panoptic view of Tokyo, from which a series of concentric circles radiate, thus creating a target-like effect. The circles ever widen till they include much of the world. Unlike the map ‘Target Berlin’, which immediately preceded Allied airstrikes, no airstrikes followed the publishing of ‘Target Tokyo’ till November 1944. Said airstrikes continued till the capitulation of Japan on 15 August 1945. Printed below the map is a cut away distance scale with the following instructions.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThis map is a photographic view of the world with the center at Tokyo. Thus with the detachable scale distances can be measured along any line running thru Tokyo. It should be noted that an inch at the center represents less mileage than an inch closer to the edges. The detachable scale has been designed to compensate for this and should be used only with the center on Tokyo. The photographic process used in making this map makes all distances measured with the tape approximate only. Distances are shown in statute miles. Lines between key cities do not represent regular air routes in all cases. They show distances between points that do not fall on a line going thru the center of the projection.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThis was one of many ‘Newsmaps’ published weekly by a propaganda arm of the US War Department called ‘Army Orientation Course of the Special Service Division Army Service Forces’. The maps employed bold typesetting and dramatic imagery to relay the most recent war news. Few Newsmaps were as dramatic or had the impact as did 'Target Tokyo.' \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInventory #10763\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Map Shop, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"18 x 24 inches","offer_id":34705078471,"sku":"10763a","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"21 x 28 inches","offer_id":34705078535,"sku":"10763b","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"27 x 36 inches","offer_id":34705078599,"sku":"10763c","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32 x 42 inches","offer_id":40175195655,"sku":"10763d","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"35.5 x 47 inches - Original Size","offer_id":34705078727,"sku":"10763e","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1404\/2135\/products\/aq10763a.jpg?v=1571609848"},{"product_id":"1801-map-of-the-east-india-isles","title":"1801 A New Map of the East India Isles","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Cary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1801 (dated) London\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 x 20.5 inches (45.7 cm x 52 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a reproduction of an antique map that is a masterpiece by the prominent mapmaker John Cary.

The map illustrates authentic examples of indigenous art with an attempt to show works that embody the staple characteristics used by their creators and place them within their region of origin. The booklet notes an attempt (that was never realized) to divide the land areas into cultural areas, but passed on the idea as their vague borders would indicate the spread of these cultures. Each piece depicted within the map is described in the accompanying booklet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePLATE IV. Economy of the Pacific\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis map was created with an emphasis on the varying types of economic characteristics of the people, their predominant manner of land utilization, and goals of productions, be it for local or export use and the need for basic products.

A number of factors influence how they came about, including, types and availability of raw materials, climate, tribal traditions, cultural connections, and the overall purpose of the structure. While some dwellings were seasonal or temporary as in the case of nomadic tribes, others were far more permanent. Some dwelling were made for individual families, while others were large enough to house entire tribes or large swaths of the community.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePLATE VI.

From vast ocean expanses, to great plains, towering mountains, and a wide range of temperatures found in the arctic , equator, and everywhere in between, humans in every part of the world have adopted their own method of transportation. While Eskimos, Mongolians, and people of India and Indo-China utilize the power of domesticated animals (sled dogs, horses, oxen, and elephants), Island natives of Polynesia, Micronesia, and people along every coast have mastered the art of sailing and paddle powered boats of all shaped and sizes. \u003c\/span\u003e     \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMiguel Covarrubias\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1904 - 1957) was a Mexican painter, caricaturist, illustrator, ethnologist and art historian. In 1924, at the age of 19, Covarubbias went to New York, funded by a grant from the Mexican government to meet with the literary and illustrative elite. Though his English was very poor, his artistic ability could not be overlooked and he eventually earned a spot as one of the primary cartoonists for Vanity Fair. He later flourished as an artist doing set designs and costumes for plays, a wide array of caricature works and eventually was commissioned to paint six murals for the Golden Gate International Exposition from which these prints were published. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInventory #11510 (1-6)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"the Vintage Map Shop, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"16 x 24 inches \/ PLATE I.
