1598rif. 219734Middelburch: Barent Langenes ende men vintse te coop Cornelis Claesz. 1598. Engraved copperplate map hand-coloured 8.6 x 12.7 cms; 11.3 x 17 cms sheet text in Dutch on the verso relating to a map of Bengal margins dusty and expert paper repairs to the corners but the map in very good condition. One of the earliest published maps of the kingdoms of Burma from the rare first edition of Langenes' "Caert-thresoor" published in 1598. "Arakan was a proficient sea power shielded from attacks from Pegu by the Arakan Yoma Range and wielded considerable influence over neighbouring Chittangong which Portugal had claimed as a vassal state since 1459. Although early relations between Portugal and Arakan were marred by mutual distrust piracy and looting during the latter part of the sixteenth century Portugal aligned itself with Arakan and Chittagong to subdue Pegu. This alliance led to the tragic devastation of Pegu by the Arakanese-Chittagongese-Portuguese triangle in 1599-1600 just after the publication of the Langenes map. Langenes used Arakan the mightier of these two Portuguese allies to denote Burma as a whole." Suarez "Early mapping of Southeast Asia" p. 190 .

rif. 8614March 17 no year around 1927. Mandalay Burma. 12mo 15 pp. On watermarked laid paper. Very good with slight wear to crease on first leaf damaging two words both still legible. Otherwise text clear and complete. The item can be dated from a reference to 'a Dempsey-Tunney fight'. Although neatly written the handwriting is so stylised that deciphering the text presents difficulties. Begins 'What a whirl since I wrote you on the boat before we landed in Rangoon . HOT. Yes! Right now it is 90 degrees in our room which has windows on three sides & there are two big fans going. . Here in Burma they are more like real old savages than anything we have seen. Huge men with heads <> shaved - half naked - painted faces & rings & <> in their noses'. 'We have seen <> 1500 pagodas - <.> they are dotted almost everywhere. Nothing is ever repaired. It is a part of their religion. More merit is attached to building new. Their whole thought is that life - the old passes and the new comes - so that just pass along building new and let the old decay - and - as nothing is especially <> it decays quickly and the entire country is falling to pieces except for the new pagodas on every side.' References to a timber yard and a drive into the country. 'In the hotel <> a couple who interested us. They found to be French and are travelling about with a most extraordinary vaudeville act. 60 trained roosters. We went last night to see it and it was as good as anything I have ever seen - in fact it is unique. . they did all sorts of things - tight rope walking bicycle riding - even a Dempsey-Tunney fight which was a knock-out! Referee - trainers & all the <>'. March 17 [no year] [around 1927]. Mandalay, Burma. unknown
