John Speede's hand-coloured map of Tartary, sold by Thomas Bassett in Fleet Street and Richard Chiswell in St. Paul's Churchyard, engraved by Dirck Gryp. It covers Asia from Muscovy and the Caspian to Cathay, Korea and part of America, framed by views of Astrakhan, Samarkand, Cambalu and Nova Zembla and figures in local dress. A note in Cathay tells of a hill yielding earth Pliny called terra asbestus, which, spun and woven, makes a cloth that will not burn.
