Description:
An intricately detailed map from the Modern Atlas (circa 1787), showcasing the Chinese Empire, Korea, and Japan, with hand-colored embellishments. The map features key regions such as Taiwan, the Korean Peninsula, Haynan, and the southern islands of Japan, including an exaggerated depiction of the island of Lequeo (Ryukyu). Rococo-style decorative elements adorn the map, including an engraving of a Chinese gentleman seated beneath a parasol, holding a bird and smoking a pipe. This combination of artistry and geography provides a visually striking representation of East Asia in the late 18th century. Dimensions are 17.4" wide by 12.1" high.
