Nicolas de Fer's map, titled "Well-engraved, Detailed, And Attractive Map Of Asia, With Cartouche Depicting Chinese At Upper Left, And One With Indians At Upper Right. The East Indian Archipelago Is Shown, And A Portion Of 'terre Des Papous, Ou Nouvelle Zeelande'; Above Japan And Jess," is a remarkable example of early 18th-century cartography. De Fer, a prominent French cartographer and geographer, was known for his detailed and aesthetically appealing maps, and this particular work is no exception.

The map showcases the vast expanse of Asia with meticulous detail, capturing the geographical knowledge of the time. It features two ornate cartouches that add a cultural and artistic dimension to the map. The cartouche in the upper left corner depicts Chinese figures, reflecting the European fascination with Chinese culture and the significance of China in global trade and exploration during that era. The cartouche in the upper right corner portrays Indian figures, highlighting the importance of the Indian subcontinent in the context of European colonial ambitions and trade networks.

One of the notable aspects of this map is its inclusion of the East Indian Archipelago, a region of great interest to European explorers and traders. The map also intriguingly labels a portion of land as "terre Des Papous, Ou Nouvelle Zeelande," indicating the early European awareness of regions that would later be more accurately mapped and understood. This label suggests a blend of myth and emerging geographical knowledge, characteristic of the period's cartographic works.

Above Japan, the map includes the area referred to as "Jess," which reflects the contemporary European understanding of East Asia's geography. The map's intricate engraving and attention to detail not only provide valuable historical insights but also make it a visually captivating artifact.

Nicolas de Fer's map is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of early modern cartographers. It serves as a window into the world as it was perceived in the early 1700s, illustrating the blend of accurate geographical representation and imaginative elements that characterized the cartography of the time.
