Description

A finely and crisply engraved map of Asia is decorated with an ornamental title cartouche in the lower-left corner.

There are very good details of towns in modern-day Uzbekistan. The region here is labeled as "USBEKS"  and is part of a region labeled "Tartarie Independente"
The important cities of the Silk Road are mentioned Bokara (Bukhara), Samarcand (Samarkand), Tachkund (Tashkent), etc.

The map is interesting for using Mer de Corée for the sea between Korea and Japan.

Further noteworthy topographical detail is shown. Shows New Guinea attached to Australia with a wildly speculative north-eastern coastline. The legend reads: "Nouvelle Guinée dont les Habitans se nomment Papous" ("New Guinea whose the inhabitants are named Papous"). The Nouvelle Philippines are alternatively identified as les Carolines.
Venetian edition of Janvier's map, from "Atlas Universel" printed in 1776-1784.
