Johann Wolfgang Heydt’s work entitled ‘Allerneuester Geographisch und Topographischer Schau-Platz Africa und Ost-Indien’ was published in Wilhermsdorf and Nuremburg in 1744 by Johann Carl Teschner and Homann’s Heirs. It described the Dutch factories, settlements and stations at the hands of the East India Company. This sea chart features the region covered in the book including the East Indies and northern Australia. Engraved by Heydt himself it displays nicely the Dutch discoveries in Australia along the north coast and the Gulf of Carpentaria. It is enhanced with a compass rose to the left. Mendelssohn 2 p. 554.
