Lot 52 | Map of Guangdong Province
China: c.1739
Xylographic map of Guangdong, ink and colors on paper, approximately 1635 x 1030mm (64 x 40 1/2 inches). Among the four orientations noted in the margins, Guangzhou is situated prominently as the largest city near-center of the map. Rivers and ocean colored in blue-green, cities with toponyms surrounded by city walls and these too surrounded by explanatory text in square or rectangular notation. Mountains rendered as quasi-realistic rock formations in blue and pink, with surrounding vegetation in green. Explanatory text is located in the lower margin. A few manuscript captions in a neat 18th century or early 19th century English hand, titling the map in lower margin, labeling the "City of Canton" and six other place names. Very good condition with vivid colors (previously folded with 4 tiny holes at fold intersections, approx. 6" tear in the upper left neatly repaired, some ink burn at manuscript captions, including one with slight loss). Framed.
