This map of Southeast Asia by Nicolas Visscher was printed in the early 18th century by Pieter Schenk. It depicts the sphere of influence of the Dutch East India Company, spanning from India to the northern coastline of Australia. The focus, however, is that of the East Indies around which the spice trade was centred.
