This navigational chart of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia was published in de Wit's "Maritime Atlas" of 1680. Note the unusual "sideways" projection with north on the left of the page and the increasingly complete outline given to western and northern Australia, a century before Captain Cook.
