Title: 17th-Century Antique Map of Jiangxi Province, China – "Kiangsi" by Blaeu, Detailed and Vibrantly Colored Description: This detailed 17th-century map of Jiangxi Province, historically referred to as "Kiangsi," was created by Johannes Blaeu and published in 1655 as part of the *Novus Atlas Sinensis*. Jiangxi, located in southeastern China, is known for its cultural heritage, scenic landscapes, and significant contributions to Chinese history. The map meticulously charts Jiangxi’s geography, including mountain ranges, rivers, and cities, with place names rendered in Latin. Poyang Lake, one of the largest freshwater lakes in China, is prominently depicted, emphasizing the region’s ecological and economic importance. The map also highlights key cities such as Nanchang, the provincial capital, which has long been a cultural and political center, and Jingdezhen, globally famous as the center of Chinese porcelain production. The decorative cartouche in the lower-right corner features traditional Chinese figures, adding cultural depth to the map. Blaeu’s craftsmanship is evident in the precise copperplate engraving and the vibrant hand-coloring, which enhances the boundaries and natural features, making this map both a functional document and a work of art. Condition: Nearly excellent. Sharp impression with vivid hand-coloring. Wide margins with minor age-toning appropriate for its age. Framing Tips: Use a neutral double mat and an ornate gilt or dark wood frame to highlight the map’s historical and artistic value. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the hand-coloring and intricate details. Jiangxi, historically referred to as "Kiangsi," is famous for its rich cultural history, stunning landscapes, and economic contributions. It has been a key region for porcelain production, with Jingdezhen renowned as the "Porcelain Capital" of the world. Poyang Lake, featured prominently on the map, is vital for fishing, transportation, and its ecological significance. The province’s location along the Gan River has historically made it an important transportation corridor. Nanchang, the provincial capital, is noted for its historical landmarks and political significance in modern Chinese history.
