"Kaart van Afrika, Azie, Europa en Oceanië, voor scheepstochten van de Nederlanden naar Oost-Indië" is an anonymous map from 1753, located in the Rijksmuseum. It shows a detailed and accurate representation of Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania. The map was likely created for Dutch sailors, as it emphasizes trade routes to East India. The inclusion of a compass, longitude and latitude lines further supports its navigational purpose. This map is an important piece of cartographic history and a testament to the Dutch exploration and trade activities in the 18th century.
