Theodore De Bry (1528-1598) was a Flemish engraver and publisher who is best known for his role in documenting the New World and other regions through his illustrated travel books. One of his notable works is the "Nova Tabula Insularum Iavae, Sumatrae, Borneonis et Aliarum Mallaccam usquae delineata in insula Iava" (New Map of the Islands of Java, Sumatra, Borneo, and other surrounding areas, drawn on the island of Java).

Published in 1598, this map depicted the islands of Java, Sumatra, Borneo (also known as Kalimantan), and other neighboring islands in the Indonesian archipelago. It aimed to provide a visual representation of the geographical features, coastal areas, and significant landmarks of these islands during the late 16th century.

Theodore De Bry's maps were often based on existing cartographic knowledge and sources available at the time. They were highly detailed and incorporated illustrations, decorative elements, and place names to enhance the visual appeal and informational value of the maps.

It's important to note that De Bry's works were primarily based on the accounts and observations of explorers and travelers, and they sometimes contained inaccuracies or speculative elements. Nonetheless, his contributions to cartography and the dissemination of geographical knowledge were significant, and his maps played a role in shaping European understanding of the New World and other regions during the Age of Exploration.
