In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Very good. Exhibits light wear along original fold lines. Size 7.75 x 23.25 Inches. This is an 1862 John Arrowsmith map of the Yangtze River, China. Coverage extends from Hankou (Hankow) to Pingshan. The map follows 1861 Thomas Wright Blakiston (December 27, 1832 - October 15, 1891) Yangtze River Expedition. Blakisto…n's expedition traveled over 900 miles further up the river than any previous Western navigation. Blakiston also conducted detailed surveys of the Yangtze and produced a landmark map of the river. The present map acts as a key for Blakiston's larger map. Cities and towns of varying size are labeled throughout. Additional notations mark the now submerged Yangtze Gorges and other physical features. Publication History and Census This map was created by John Arrowsmith and published in the 1862 edition of The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society . An example is cataloged in OCLC and is part of the institutional collection at the National Library of Scotland. References: OCLC 316517087.

In den WarenkorbVery good. Verso repairs to fold separations. Blank on verso. Size 16.5 x 10 Inches. This is an 1818 Sidney Hall map of part of the Yangtze River in China. Depicting from Zhenjiang south to Poyang Lake, incredible detail and additional commentary provide astonishing insight into a part of the Amherst Embassy's journey from Beiji…ng to Guangzhou. Nearly all the commentary refers to the terrain and characteristics of the river, including riverbank composition, channel width, and navigation hazards. The features of the surrounding land are also remarked upon, such as the crops grown and whether the terrain was flat or hilly. One comment states that porpoises were seen in the river, while others wonder at the number of wild birds living in the area, including geese and swans. Cities, like Zhenjiang and Nanjing, are identified, as are numerous other towns and villages along the way. This map was reduced from a larger map produced by the Jesuits and included greater detail than the Jesuit map. The Amherst Embassy The British Crown sent William Pitt Amherst, 1st Earl Amherst (January 14, 1773 - March 13, 1857) as ambassador extraordinary to China's imperial court in 1816. Upon his arrival in China, he was met with some hostility and told that in order to be admitted to the Jiaqing Emperor's presence, it would be necessary for him to perform the kowtow (a reverential ritual done before the Chinese emperor in which one kneels and then bows so low that their forehead touches the floor). After receiving advice from the officials who accompanied him, Amherst refused to kowtow. He did offer one possible alternative, that an admission be made that the same reverence was owed to the British sovereign by Chinese when in their presence, just as Macartney had done in 1793. This stipulation was denied, and Amherst was refused entry into Beijing (Pekin), making his mission a failure. He and his party then set off south to Guangzhou (Canton) to sail back to Britain. This excursion overland was arranged before Amherst and his party left the Alceste after arriving in China. After meeting the Alceste in Guangzhou, she wrecked off Indonesia and the survivors were finally rescued from Batavia. This second ship stopped at St. Helena, where Napoleon had been exiled, and Amherst met the exiled French emperor. Amherst finally arrived back in England in 1817. Publication History and Census This map was engraved by Sidney Hall and published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in Clarke Abel's book Narrative of a Journey in the Interior of China in 1818. Both the map and the book are scarce on the market, but the book is well represented in institutional collections.

All clean, vivid, good focus, no obvious fading, a couple of the usual and typical less than perfect 'development' spots. By and large an excellent group of photographs, developed most likely in China, a souvenir of a foreign person's trip 1900down the river. Far and above the average photograph quality of this early period. . *** RARITY: Original early dated photos of the Yangtze river are RARE, and seldom found during this period. Even rarer are photographs with captions and dates. Nicely done, fascinating work. . *.
