Interesting map of China, whose southern coast had been explored. Korea is shown, and southern Japan, but Hokkaido(‘Yedso’) and the northern coast is fancifully outlined. Short descriptive texts in latin replace geographical detail in the unexplored land of North East Asia. Decorative cartouche at top right.
Good margins. Single wormholes on each side, very slight off setting. Centrefold strengthened. Very good condition
