Old Map of the Chinese Empire and Japan, 1882
About the Item
An original antique map titled "The Chinese Empire and Japan," dating from an 1882 atlas by Blackie & Son. It is a color map with geographical features such as mountain ranges, rivers, and political boundaries. The vast area of China is central, with its provinces outlined and labeled in detail. To the east, the archipelago of Japan is depicted, including the main islands, as well as Korea, Taiwan (Formosa), Hainan and Macau . The topography is represented with hachures, a method of shading used to indicate slopes and mountains.
The map uses latitudinal and longitudinal lines for reference, and the color coding may represent different political regions or elevations. The waters around Japan and along the coast of China are well-charted.
This map likely reflects the geopolitical boundaries of the time, which could differ from present-day borders. Since this is from a 19th-century British atlas, place names are probably anglicized, and the map would serve educational purposes or as a reference for those interested in the region's geography and political divisions at that time.
