Title:	An 18th Century General Map of The East Indies from the Latest Surveys
Artist:	Kitchin, Thomas (London, c. 1710 - 1779)
Date:	1762
Medium:	Original Hand - Coloured Engraving
Note:	Thomas Kitchin: One of England's most productive mapmakers of the last half of the eighteenth century, Thomas Kitchin both engraved and published most of his own work. And from his premises at the Sign of the Star, situated at Holborn Hill, he also sold artists' materials and wrote and published books of instruction of the various mediums of artistic expression, such as oil painting, watercolour composition, and engraving and etching.
	As a cartographer, Kitchen is highly respected for his set of English county maps (issued in 1764) and his 1773 General Atlas of the World. Of equal importance, however, are the many maps he created for individual commissions, such as books of travel and exploration. The larger maps, such as this original example entitled. "A General Map of the East Indies", would often be folded to accommodate the smaller size of the book.
	This original 18th century engraved map contains superb detailing and delineation of the area. The East Indian Islands were juist beginning to be thoroughly explored at this time and many kingdoms (such as Borneo) were subjects of great speculation.
