Asia. 17th-century map of Asia and the new lands being discovered by European explorers in the Far East. The title (top) names Persia, Asia, Tartaria (Tartary) and China. Places shown include Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Anatolia (Turkey), Armenia, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, Persia, India, regions of Central Asia, Tibet, China, Korea, Japan, Borneo, the Philippines, and some of the islands of the Western Pacific.
