Description: 1727 Van der Aa Map of Sumatra, Singapore, and Malaya WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: L'Ile de Sumatra suivant les plus nouvelles observations des meilleurs geographes. Description: An exceptional and scarce 1727 Pieter van der Aa map of Sumatra, the Strait of Malacca, Singapore, and the southern part of the Malaya Peninsula. Taking full advantage of the small paper size, this map is oriented to the northwest with Sumatra presented vertically. The map locates the important VOC trade centers in both Sumatra and Malaysia, including Atchem (Aceh), Palimbam (Palembang), Malacca and Ihor (Johore). Singapore itself is not identified but the Strait of Singapore is named and the island that would later become Singapore is rendered. An unusual decorative cartouche appears in the upper left quadrant. This map was issued for Van der Aa's scarce La Galerie agreable du Monde. Only 100 are known to have been printed, and so, while none know how many have survived, this map may be considered exceedingly scarce. Size: Printed area measures 10.5 inches high by 6.5 inches wide. Condition: Very good condition. Blank on verso. Original platemark visible. Shipping: Shipping rates are not negotiable.

Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
