Map of the coasts of the islands of Malakula, New Caledonia, and Tanna, print, book illustration, map, Series number, 21, 51, Numbered top right: 21., publisher: Abraham Honkoop (II), Leiden, publisher: Johannes Allart, Amsterdam, publisher: Isaac van Cleef, The Hague, 1799 - 1800, printmaker, paper, etching, height 274 mm x width 216 mm, A faded sepia-toned map printed on paper shows coastal outlines, islands, and reef patterns with stippled and dotted textures indicating shallow areas and submerged features, punctuated by small numerical depth markers and clusters of tiny plus-shaped symbols. The map includes two ornate compass roses with north-pointing fleur-de-lis, a rectangular distance scale bar with segmented marks, and a thin horizontal border line separating the top and bottom map sections. The coastlines are drawn with irregular hand-drawn lines and shaded sandflats, small inland contours, and a few tiny islets and rocks depicted near the shores. The lower portion shows a large curved bay with a textured inner area and a narrow channel, while the upper portion contains fragmented atolls and irregular shore indentations. Fine speckling and light age stains appear across the paper, and the overall drawing uses uniform dark brown ink lines and stippling.
