China Map from Japanese Meiji Period – #05 China

We are excited to offer what may be some of the scarcest material we”ve offered. Translators confirm that this map is probably from the early Meiji period in Japan (1868-1912), and we assume it to be prior to the Sino-Japan war, giving us an approximate date of c. 1880. Printed on a very strong, yet light tissue paper, this wonderful hand colored map is probably one of the most uncommon items we”ve seen. This thematic map shows the entire nation of China, including the Great Wall. This is a beautifully stylized map showing us rivers, mountains, cities, and provinces. The condition is good, though there is some thinning of the paper in a few areas.
