Map. Engraving with hand coloring. Image measures 22" x 19 3/4" - total page size is 33" x 22 1/2". London: Cadell & Davies, 1809. A beautiful copy.
Beautiful map of China with exquisitely rendered mountains. Formosa is included. From "Pinkerton's Modern Geography". Some chips to margins, otherwise in good condition. John Pinkerton (1758-1826) was a prominent English mapmaker known for his large and impeccably detailed maps. In this manner, his work marks a turning point from the earlier emphasis on decoration toward a greater emphasis on information. His "Modern Atlas" is one of the best British atlases of the period and is a fine example of his work.
