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. Blakiston'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.
