Asia

(China- India- Arabian peninsula- Siam- Siberia)

Issued Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 1881-2.

Lithographed by Rolph, Smith & Co.

Interesting and quite scarce late 19th century antique lithographed map with original hand color.

Of note for the uncommon Canadian cartographic imprint. Relatively few large format maps depicting all of Asia were produced in 19th century Canada.

Map overall clean, light minor soiling, there is some light old damp staining running along both sides. This is visually easy to forgive, the map still displays well.

Captures the continent at a unique time in history, denoting Persia, Biluchistan, Afghanistan, Turkestan, Chinese Empire, Tibet, Burma, etc.

Sheet measures c. 17" x 13 3/4"

Engraved area measures c. 15 1/2" x 12 1/4"
