"Carte Reduite Des Detroits De Malaca, Sincapour, Et Gouverneur," was created by Jacques Nicolas Bellin in 1755. This map depicts the straits of Malacca, Singapore, and Governor Island (Pulau Ujong), which are important waterways and maritime trade routes in Southeast Asia.

"Carte Reduite Des Detroits De Malaca, Sincapour, Et Gouverneur" provides a geographical representation of the straits and islands in the region, including Malacca (now part of Malaysia), Singapore, and Governor Island (present-day Sentosa Island). It likely includes information about navigational routes, coastal features, and depths of the sea to aid sailors and ship captains in their voyages.

This map is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the understanding of Southeast Asian geography and maritime trade routes during the 18th century. It provides a glimpse into the importance of these straits as crucial passages for maritime commerce and navigation.

Jacques Nicolas Bellin (1703-1772) was a prominent French cartographer and hydrographer. He is widely regarded as one of the most significant mapmakers of the 18th century. Bellin served as the official hydrographer to the French king, Louis XV, and was a member of the French Royal Society of Sciences.

Bellin's cartographic career spanned over 50 years, during which he produced numerous maps and atlases covering various regions of the world. His works encompassed both terrestrial and maritime cartography, and he was known for his precise and detailed mapping of coastlines, seas, and islands.

One of Bellin's most notable contributions to cartography was his work on maritime charts. He produced highly accurate maps of major waterways, harbors, and ports, which were instrumental in improving navigation and facilitating trade and exploration during the Age of Enlightenment.

Bellin's maps were characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, elegant design, and artistic elements. His maps often featured decorative cartouches, compass roses, and illustrations of ships, enhancing their aesthetic appeal.
