(Map of China, Dutch map of china, Dutch map of the East, Gele zee, Tong-Hai, Nan-Hai, Upper India).
Issued 1861, Amsterdam, by Kraay Brothers.
Uncommon mid-19th century engraved map, with attractive hand color. From a little known source, an elusive map to encounter with such pleasing hand color.
Remains a nice looking example with a pleasing age patina, Tiny minor split at base of centerfold mended on reverse with archival tape. Any age flaws minor and easy to overlook or forgive.
