About the Item

The image shows two maps side by side from the 1882 atlas by Blackie & Son. On the left, the map is titled "BURMAH SIAM AND ANAM," while the one on the right is labeled "JAPAN." **BURMAH SIAM AND ANAM Map:** This map depicts the regions of Southeast Asia that are today known as Myanmar (Burma), Thailand (Siam), and parts of Vietnam (Annam). The map is detailed, showing the intricate river systems, mountain ranges, and provincial divisions within each region. It uses color to differentiate between the three regions, with hachures indicating relief and topographical features. Key cities, towns, and other important geographical landmarks are marked. **JAPAN Map:** The map of Japan shows the main islands - Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, along with the Ryukyu Islands to the south. This map, too, uses hachures to represent topographical features such as mountain ranges and includes detailed coastal lines. Political divisions, significant cities, towns, and geographical features are also indicated. An inset in the bottom left corner shows the "Loo-Choo Islands" (Ryukyu Islands) on a larger scale. Both maps are framed with latitudinal and longitudinal lines and include a scale in miles. These maps would have been used at the time for educational purposes, as well as for navigation and colonial administration purposes, reflecting the British interest in these regions during the late 19th century. The precision and detail in these maps are indicative of the level of cartographic skill and interest in geography during the Victorian era.
