All Our Maps and Posters Are Made in the USA Petrus Plancius's "Spice Map," covering the Philippines and Maritime Southeast Asia, including the famed Spice Islands.The map is densely engraved with detail and cartographic decoration. Each island is thickly blanketed with toponyms. New Guinea and the islands to the east are unfinished, with open coastlines to the south. This reflected the state of knowledge at the time, and the hypothesis that they might connect to a large southern continent.The west coast of New Guinea is separated and shown as the island of Seram (Ceiram), which also has the Guinean port of Canam.In the seas, rhumb lines criss-cross the water, suggesting possible navigation. This navigational theme is echoed in the sailing ships that are in seas too. There are many sea monsters dotting the map as well. A massive compass rose is a distinctive feature, as are the detailed strapwork cartouches housing the title, scale bars, and publication information.This map is known as the “Spice Map” for its illustration of nutmeg, clove, and sandalwood included along the bottom of the map. The map was published as a means of promoting the commercial importance and viability of prospective Dutch voyages to the Spice Islands.
