Item description from seller

Colour folding map centred on the Bohai Sea, about the ongoing Russo-Japanese War. Divided into 18 panels, measuring 56 x 71cm when open, folds into card covers with "A Map of the Country between Pekin and Taku" printed in red inside the upper cover, covers measure 20.5 x 14cm. Map little foxed though not affecting image, few small holes at folds, covers worn and chipped, particularly at extremities, spine pf cover strengthened with archival tape, overall in good condition. A detailed map of China's northeast, extending from Nanjing and Shanghai in the south to Changchun in the north, showing the European concessions of Port Arthur, Weihaiwei and Qingdao. The Korean peninsula is also shown. Placenames are marked, as well as road and rail links. Curiously, although the South Manchuria Railway between Harbin and Port Arthur had been fully completed by the time of the war's outbreak and publication of this map, the line north of Kaiyuan appears to be marked as incomplete, perhaps indicating an asymmetric spread of knowledge regarding the railway's progress among British cartographers. Also shown are inset maps of central Beijing, the area around Guangzhou, as well as the Southeast of England to the same scale for comparison. A line map of the area between Beijing and Tianjin is included on the reverse of the upper cover.…
