1812137350Paris 1812. Fine detailed nineteenth century map of China by Dano-French geographer Conrad Malte-Brun. One page. In near fine condition. Double matted and framed.

He was the founder of Les Annales des Voyages in 1807 and Les Annales des Voyages de la Géographie et de l'Histoire in 1819 which encouraged observations and reports as a basis for research. He became well known after contributing Tableau de la Pologne a treatise on the geography of Poland in 1807 as the First Empire troops established French tutelage in the region. In 1822-1824 he served as the first general secretary of the newly founded Société de Géographie. unknown

1902220266Japan. No date. Circa1902. Two very attractive colour folded manuscript maps one showing China and the other Korea. <br> <br>Map of China: Watercolour map 48 x 63.5cm. Closed tear now professionally repaired. <br> <br>Map of Korea: Finely detailed watercolour map a few tiny holes very neatly repaired on the verso with archival washi. 33 x 24.5cm Two delicate hand-painted maps one of China and one of Korea produced by a Japanese student cartographer named Koike Tokushige 小池徳重. <br> <br>The undated map of China appears to have been produced in the first five years of the twentieth century: a time when Japan had recently colonized Taiwan and when Japanese economic and political interest in the region was rapidly expanding. The inscription on the map suggests that it was a third year college project. But the high level of detail suggests that the artist had considerable experience of map making. The map of China shows the main provinces rivers major transport routes the Great Wall and the location of key cities although the names of the cities are not included. It also shows outlines of the Korean Peninsula Taiwan and the Japanese island of Kyushu but not the rest of Japan. <br> <br>The map of Korea is more detailed. It provides an accurate outline of the Korean Peninsula with careful hatching indicating changes in elevation. Rivers and major road routes are shown on the map and the locations of major towns are marked though only Busan and Incheon are named. Dotted lines show coastal sea routes and routes between Kyushu and Busan and between Incheon and China. The map shows the Gyeongin railway line between Seoul and Incheon which was completed in 1899 and route of the Gyeongbu railway line between Busan and Seoul whose construction started from both ends in 1901. But the map depicts only small sections of this line close to Seoul and Busan as being completed with the rest more lightly outlined to show the projected route implying that the map was drawn around 1901-1902 and certainly before the Gyongbu line was opened in 1904. <br> <br>Inserted text gives the land area and population of Korea. Rather strangely though the figure given for the Korean population is vastly underestimated. Ikeda gives this as 5.7 million when in fact at that time is was around 18 million. . unknown

190841275London.: The China Inland Mission. 1908. Color lithographed maps xii index map plus 22 single and double page maps 16pp 13 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches gilt lettered red cloth covered boards hardbound. The Index Map of China has a stain with a small piece of paper adhered to it from the facing page which is the Alphabetical List of Protestant Missions with resultant damage to that page; neat marginal notes to the Index Map only; the first several sheets of the atlas are beginning to split along the lower gutter from the tight binding. The binding is worn with splits to the tail of the spine and marking to the front cover. The maps with the exception of the Index Map are clean and bright. Very attractive color maps covering the whole of the Chinese Empire including maps of Tibet and Mongolia. This is the first edition of this important atlas of China: "in view of the fact that 1907 would be the Centenary of Protestant Missionary effort in China it was decided by the China Inland Mission toward the close of 1905 to publish a new Atlas of the Chinese Empire this Atlas to be accompanied by a book giving a geographical historical and missionary survey of each province and dependency of that Empire. It was hoped that these companion volumes would be ready for the Centenary Conference which was to take place in Shanghai during the spring of 1907. Through unexpected delays it was however found impossible without serious loss to the Atlas to have the maps ready in time so the book entitled The Chinese Empire was published first. The Atlas which is now sent forth to the public has taken about two and a half years to prepare and is in every respect an entirely new work." The atlas includes maps of Tibet Manchuria and Mongolia. The maps of the provinces are on the scale of 1:3000000 and of the great dependencies on the scale of 1:7500000. . The China Inland Mission. hardcover books
