| Sumatra ein grosse Insel / so von den alten Geographen Taprobana genennet worden.36 x 30.4cms. Double page map of Sumatra with the lower part of the Malayan peninsula. Title above top margin. Slight staining confined to margins only and not affecting map area. Singapore is here named as 'Cingatole'. Two panels to right of engraved area: the upper with descriptive text and the lower depicting an elephant. Both Sumatra and Ceylon have been associated with the mythical island of Taprobana, the elephant being the 'trade mark' of Ceylon, but the tip of Java at lower edge of map makes it definitely Sumatra.
