A rare Italian map of China, produced by Francesco Marmocchi for his 1858 work Il Globo Atlante di Carte Geografiche . It depicts the provinces of 'China proper' along with major geographic features and human-made structures such as the Great Wall.…A Closer Look This map represents 'China proper,' that is, the territory held by the Ming Dynasty that had been conquered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which ruled China when this map was made. As the Qing also directly or indirectly ruled lands in Tibet, Central Asia, Mongolia, and their ancestral Manchuria, this distinction was culturally significant and administratively useful. The individual provinces are outlined in green while the entirety of China proper is outlined in pink. Beyond lie neighboring kingdoms and the other constituent parts of the Qing realm, including Kokonor (Qinghai in Chinese, here as Khu-khu-nor). The Grand Canal and Great Wall of China are indicated, as is the 'Willow Palisade,' a system of ditches and embankments constructed to restrict migration from China proper into Manchuria, as well as prevent migration between Manchu and Mongol regions. However, the Grand Canal, Great Wall, and Willow Palisade had all broken down and ceased to fulfill their intended function by the time this map was published (the Great Wall being superfluous given the Qing alliance with or subordination of the Mongols early in their reign). Italians in Qing China When this map was published, the Qing were near their nadir. Not only had they lost the Opium War to the British, but they were also facing a new conflict with the British and French over opium and other outstanding issues around trade and foreigners residing in the newly created treaty ports like Shanghai (here as Sciang-hai). Even worse, a massive rebellion in southern China declared a competing dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and had taken major cities along the Yangzi River, like Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, though the Qing managed to repel them outside of Shanghai (ironically, with British and French help). Several other rebellions also broke out elsewhere in China, and the Qing just barely managed to survive by devolving authority to provincial governors and relying on assistance from the same foreign powers that sought to exploit China's vast resources and domestic market. Italians have historically had deep connections with China relative to other Europeans, from medieval traders like Marco Polo to the early modern Jesuit missions pioneered by Matteo Ricci and Michele Ruggieri. Some Italian traders were present in Shanghai in the 19th century, especially after the Kingdom of Italy established diplomatic relations with Qing China in 1866, but the Italian commercial presence in China became more pronounced after a dedicated Italian concession was created in Tianjin in 1901. The Catholic Church was a more noticeable mark of the Italian presence in China, especially in rural areas, and of course Italians were the dominant group among the hierarchy of the Holy See, which nominally managed all the Catholic missions in China through the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith (Propaganda Fide). Publication History and Census This map appeared as Plate 17 in Francesco Marmocchi's Il Globo Atlante di Carte Geografiche , published in 1858, the year of Marmocchi's death. The maps in the atlas retained the title of his earlier work 'Geografia Commerciale' on their plates, and the margin may have been cut close to obscure the title and avoid confusion. It was engraved by G. Bonatti of Turin and published by Paolo Rivara in Genoa. It is only cataloged among the holdings of Ajman University and is scarce to the market, while the entire atlas is held by the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection, the Newberry Library, and the National Library of Australia.

A nicely hand-colored Italian language map of southern Africa by Francesco Marmocchi, made for his 1858 work Il Globo Atlante di Carte Geografiche . It portray…s the region at a time when explorers and European-descended settlers were moving further into the interior, presaging even greater changes in the following decades. A Closer Look Coverage includes the modern-day nations of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Madagascar, Lesotho, and Eswatini (Swaziland). Mountains, waterways, coastal features, and larger settlements are indicated. The names of regions and major confederations of indigenous people are also noted. Faint traces of hand-written annotations can be seen in the Kalahari Desert and off the eastern coast of the continent. Southern Africa before the 'Scramble for Africa' This map predates the 'Scramble for Africa' by nearly thirty years, yet the seeds for the later rapid expansion of European imperial control were already being planted. Southern Africa of course differed from most other parts of Africa in that it had a well-established white (Dutch) settler population, dating to the 17th century. The Dutch Cape Colony came under British control through the upheavals of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, and British actions, such as mandating the use of English and abolishing slavery, exacerbated a trend of settlers moving further and further into the interior. This increased tensions with the indigenous population, which had been greatly weakened by the expansion of the powerful Zulu Empire to the northeast. Simultaneously, a race was underway to explore the interior of Africa, with David Livingstone and William Oswell crossing the Kalahari Desert in 1849; soon afterwards, Livingstone crossed the continent from west to east. In the years following this map's publication, diamonds and other minerals were discovered in southern Africa, spurring the mining boom that made fortunes and altered the world economy. Additional developments, such as advances in medical and military technology, allowed for the easier expansion of European control into Africa, which increased exponentially in the 1870s and 1880s, setting off the 'Scramble for Africa.' Publication History and Census This map appeared as Plate No. 8 in Francesco Marmocchi's Il Globo Atlante di Carte Geografiche , published in 1858, the year of Marmocchi's death. The maps in the atlas employ the plates used in his earlier work Geografia Commerciale , including the title of that work on each map, which may explain the close cutting of the margin here. It was engraved by C. Poggiali in Florence and published by Paolo Rivara in Genoa. This map is not independently cataloged in the OCLC and is scarce to the market, while the entire atlas is held by the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection, the Newberry Library, and the National Library of Australia.

A thorough Italian language map of Central Asia (Turkestan) produced by Francesco Marmocchi for his 1858 work Il Globo Atlante di Carte Geografiche . It portrays the vicinity of the Caspian and Aral Seas at a time when the Russian… Empire was beginning a methodical conquest of the entire region. A Closer Look Coverage extends from the Caucasus in the west to the Ferghana Valley in the east, and from Orenburg in the north to Bukhara in the south. Aside from the two seas noted in the title, the map is especially detailed in the indication of waterways, including the dozens of lakes amid the steppes of today's central and eastern Kazakhstan. Other ecological features, along with cities and mountains, are also indicated. The location of Bukhara is denoted with a hand-written annotation, most likely a result of the lack of knowledge about the emirate in Europe. The Aral Sea is seen here before its drastic reduction beginning in the 1960s, due to massive irrigation projects on the lower Syr Darya River (here as Sir Deria), which have contributed to the near-complete disappearance of the lake. Russia's Expansion into Central Asia Russian contacts with Central Asia predated this map by many centuries and Russian national identity is largely rooted in the relationship with the steppe and interaction (trade, warfare, etc.) with steppe-dwelling peoples. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Russian Empire established a series of border forts that roughly followed the edge of the forested land before reaching the steppe, also concurrent with the present-day border between the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan. Occasional forays into the steppes were attempted but conquering those territories in any meaningful sense remained elusive. Using the latest military, communication, and transportation technology, the Russian Empire focused intently in the mid-19th century on subjugating Central Asia. Although the region had lost some of its wealth and luster from the height of the Silk Road, it was still home to powerful states that held their own in tussles with neighboring empires in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russians encountered difficulties in trying to control the region, starting with a disastrous attack on Khiva in 1839 (it was eventually conquered in 1873). Rather than military strategy or technology, the main obstacle was supplying troops so far from the Russian heartland in a region with minimal infrastructure. Getting supplies to the main staging area at Orenburg was difficult enough, but then they needed to be moved across vast distances through desert and steppe. What could not be moved up rivers had to be carried over land, usually by caravans of horses, oxen, and camels, which required their own food and water. Thus, Russian progress into Central Asia was consistent but slow. Following the Khiva debacle, sights were set on establishing a line of forts along the Syr Darya River, encroaching on the territory of the Khanate of Kokand. This string of forts allowed the Russians to overcome their logistical challenges and expand further into the eastern Kazakh steppe, reaching the portion of Central Asia controlled by the Qing Dynasty by 1851. With this eastern flank secured, the next several decades were spent in conquering Kokand, Khiva, Bukhara, and other territories to the west and south.
