Abstract
An unusual large-scale European map of Taiwan, on a horizontal projection, it is possibly based on an earlier manuscript chart by Jan Vingboons. The map also depicts the Islands of Penghu. It appeared in Valentijin's "Oud en Nieuw Oost Indien", a 5-volume encyclopedia on the Dutch East India Company's empire, published in 1724-1726.
