EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully handcoloured copperplate engraving of the "Map of Asia, early 19th century". Created by the English School in the 19th century, this map offers a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge and cartographic techniques of that era. The intricate details on this map highlight various regions including Asia Minor, Arabia, Persia, Siberia, Tartary, Thibet (Tibet), Hindoostan (India), Further India (Southeast Asia), China, Formosa (Taiwan), and Japan. Each area is meticulously depicted with precision and accuracy. Commissioned for Rev. Isaac Taylor's book "Scenes in Asia" this map served as both an educational tool and entertainment for young travelers at home during that time period. It allowed them to explore different cultures and learn about distant lands without leaving their own homes.
