Old Map of the Chinese Empire and Japan, 1882
About the Item
An original antique map titled "The Chinese Empire and Japan," dating from an 1882 atlas by Blackie & Son. It is a color map with geographical features such as mountain ranges, rivers, and political boundaries. The vast area of China is central, with its provinces outlined and labeled in detail. To the east, the archipelago of Japan is depicted, including the main islands, as well as Korea, Taiwan (Formosa), Hainan and Macau . The topography is represented with hachures, a method of shading used to indicate slopes and mountains.
The map uses latitudinal and longitudinal lines for reference, and the color coding may represent different political regions or elevations. The waters around Japan and along the coast of China are well-charted.
This map likely reflects the geopolitical boundaries of the time, which could differ from present-day borders. Since this is from a 19th-century British atlas, place names are probably anglicized, and the map would serve educational purposes or as a reference for those interested in the region's geography and political divisions at that time.

Located in Norton, MA
1814 Map of
"Russian Empire"
Ric.r032
Russian Empire. Description: This is an 1814 John Thomson map of the Russian Empire. The map depicts the region from the Baltic Sea, Prussia, and Sweden to the Aleutian Islands and from the Arctic Ocean to the Yellow River. Highly detailed, myriad cities, towns, and villages are labeled throughout, including St. Petersburg, Moscow, Minsk, Kiev, and Kharkov. Rivers and mountain ranges are also identified, as are islands and numerous locations along the coastlines. It is important to note that the long-disputed sea between Korea and Japan is identified as the 'Sea of Japan.
Historical Context:
In 1815, Tsarist Russia emerged from the Napoleonic Wars economically insolvent and politically fearful of the Revolutionary fervor that had just swept through Europe. In order to shore up Russia's economic position, the Tsars began an aggressive series of expansions into the Caucuses and Central Asia that would vastly increase the landmass of the Russian Empire.
