"Indiae Orientalis Nova Descriptio" by Jan Jansson (also known as Johannes Janssonius) from the year 1635. Jan Jansson was a prominent Dutch cartographer and publisher in the 17th century, as I mentioned earlier.

The map "Indiae Orientalis Nova Descriptio" was a depiction of the East Indies or the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia) during that time. It showcased the various islands, coastlines, and trading routes in the region as explored and established by European powers, particularly the Dutch. Janssonius, along with other cartographers of his time, contributed to mapping these areas and providing valuable information to navigators and traders.

Johannes Janssonius, also known as Jan Jansson, was a prominent Dutch cartographer, engraver, and publisher who lived from 1588 to 1664. He was born in Arnhem, Netherlands, and came from a family of publishers and booksellers. Janssonius is best known for his contributions to cartography during the Dutch Golden Age.

Janssonius established himself as a leading mapmaker and publisher, following in the footsteps of his father-in-law, Jodocus Hondius. He collaborated with other renowned cartographers of the time, such as Gerardus Mercator and Willem Blaeu, and expanded upon their works.

Janssonius was the co-founder of the Hondius-Janssonius publishing house, which produced atlases, maps, and globes. Their most famous publication was the "Atlas Novus," a comprehensive atlas that went through multiple editions and contained maps of various regions around the world. Janssonius also created individual maps, including those depicting Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

His maps were characterized by their decorative elements, such as elaborate cartouches, intricate border designs, and vivid coloring. Janssonius played a significant role in disseminating geographical knowledge and enhancing the quality and aesthetics of cartographic works during his time.
