1563-1610.
Van Linschoten, born in Haarlem, is heard of in the service of the Portuguese Archbishop of Goa where he spent five years between 1583 and 1588. On his return to Holland he produced a History of his travels, important for the inclusion of maps from Portuguese sources, at that time rarely available to Dutch - or any other - cartographers. The maps (including a world map by Petrus Plancius) engraved by van Langren, are highly decorative with large cartouches, the arms of Portugal, compass roses, rhumb lines and sea monsters. Some are illustrated with views of prominent places or islands.

Plan de la ville de Peking levee en 1817 (title repeated in Russian). St. Petersburg, (c. 1815) 1220 x 960 mm.
A rare map of the city published in St Petersburg in the early part of the nineteenth century. The plan shows details of the city walls, gates, streets, waterways, lakes, palaces, buildings and temples. Although mentioned in Cordier, little detail is given, but it does appear to be a source map for a number of subsequent maps published through the nineteenth century.
The Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Peking was founded in 1727. The Emperor K’Ang His gave them a temple in the north-west corner of the city. According to Cordier a good deal of Scientific and Sinological work was done at the mission.
