Ancient map of Singapore,Thailand,Malaysia,Sumatra,Borneo,1710
Joachim Ottens (1663-1719) was a Dutch cartographer and publisher who, along with his sons, Reinier and Joshua, established a successful mapmaking and publishing business in Amsterdam in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The Ottens family is renowned for their contributions to cartography during the Golden Age of Dutch mapmaking.
One of Joachim Ottens' notable works is the 1710 Ottens Map of Southeast Asia, which depicts various regions including Singapore, Thailand (then known as Siam), Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. This map was created during a time when European powers, including the Dutch, were actively involved in maritime trade and colonial expansion in the Southeast Asian region.
The Ottens Map of Southeast Asia provides a visual representation of the geography and topography of the depicted areas, featuring coastlines, rivers, mountains, and major cities. It also includes illustrations of ships, sea monsters, and other decorative elements common in maps of that era.
Maps like the Ottens Map were important tools for European explorers, merchants, and colonial powers as they navigated and expanded their influence in Southeast Asia. They helped to provide a better understanding of the region's geographical features, resources, and potential trade routes.
