About this Item
An early detailed map of North America. The Japanese title can be translated as `New map of North America`. This map is a supplement of the book titled `Kaikoku Zushi`. The original book was published in China in 1844. It was a treatise of the famous Chinese scholar Wei Yuanda. His most prominent work, `Illustrated Treatise on the Maritime Kingdoms,` was translated to Japanese ten years later. It was a detailed description of world countries with maps, including the `Meriken Shizu`. In comparison with library copies, this one lacks the legend. Nonetheless, it is still a rare piece, lavishly printed in colour woodblocks. Original cover and original title slip. Very few stains on the margins. Near fine to fine condition. Comes with a non original slipcase. 44 x 81 cm (folding 21,8 x 13,6 cm). Text in Japanese. Seller Inventory # 1039
