Description

Author Danvin.
Engraved by Longlois.
From the „Oceanie ou cinquieme partie du monde. Revue geographique et ethnographique de la Malaisie, de la Micronesie, de la Polynesie et de la Melanesie“. Firmin Didot Freres, Paris. 1836.
The Mariana Islands (also the Marianas) are an arc-shaped archipelago made up by the summits of fifteen volcanic mountains in the western North Pacific Ocean between the 12th and 21st parallels north and along the 145th meridian east. They are south-east of Japan, south-west of the Hawaii, north of New Guinea and east of the Philippines. They form the eastern limit of the Philippine Sea. The islands were named after Spanish Queen Mariana of Austria in the 17th century, when Spain started the colonization of the archipelago. They form the northern part of the western Pacific subregion of Micronesia and are composed of two U.S. jurisdictions: the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and, at the southern end of the chain of islands, the territory of Guam.
Approx. image size 14, 2 x 8, 7/20, 3 x 12, 4 cm.
