Hi Judith and Maps-L,
A quick search of the web shows that the antiquarian map dealer Paulus
Swaen has an identical copy described
at http://www.swaen.com/antique-map-image-of.php?id=2577
It is described as follows:
*ANONYMOUS - A view of the General & Coasting Trade-Winds in the Atlantic*
Antique map published in London c.1690 (5.7. x .18.8 inches. 14.5. x
.47.8 cm.) Several vertical folds as issued. Dark impression, upper
and left margin cut close.
An uncommon map of the Oceans with its currents and winds between
35degrees North and 35degrees South latitude.
To the right /Formoso/ (Taiwan), part of Japan and part of Australia.
Based on Halley's 1686 wind map.
Edmond Halley's 1686 trade wind map can be seen

Dear Maps-L colleagues,
I am hoping that someone can help me identify this map, which has no
title or other carto-bibliographic information. It is printed on fine
rag paper, and may have been folded into a book. Someone has written
"Herman Moll" and "1723" on the back, but I am not at all sure that it
is a Moll map, and it certainly looks earlier than 1723.
Scans of the map can be viewed at the links below, which measures 21 x
50 cm, at correct size.
Thank you for any help,
Judith.
