Valentyn, Francois. Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indien. Amsterdam and Dordrecht, 1724-26. Five volumes small folio, with 265 engraved maps and plates (and duplicate of one map) including a folding portrait of the author, an allegorical title and engraved dedication leaf with vignette, numerous text illustrations (two full-page) and 9 folding tables, printed double column, early nineteenth-century diced calf (rubbed, one joint cracking). Short sealed tear in some maps, a little marginal worming in the third and fifth volumes, two maps slightly affected, one map slightly holed, a few leaves stained, small marginal defects: but notwithstanding these blemishes, a good, complete set of a work now often found lacking some plates or maps. The most important early work on the East Indies, embracing also the Dutch settlements in China and Japan, parts of the Near and Middle East, the Philippines, Ceylon and the Cape of Good Hope, and with accounts of the voyages of Tasman, in 1642-43, and Vlamingh to the western coast of Australia in 1696-97. The wealth of fine maps and views include a folding map of Australia showing Tasman's route, the first published view of Tasmania and of Western Australia (Dampier including only coastal profiles), and an especially fine, large Tabula Indiae Orientalis et regnorum adjacentium, including Australia.
