China Mongolia Hainan Yunnan Tong-King 1886 Catholic Christian Missionary map

Chine, Partie Occidentale- China- Laos, Anan- Birmah- Tibet.

Publ 1886, Fribourg by Herder for Werner.

Uncommon 19th century color lithographed religious thematic map showing Catholic missionary activity late in the 19th century. Interesting detailed key below title.

Overall very fresh and clean, paper uniformly well age toned and now tender/ brittle so should be handled carefully (currently nicely inside plastic sleeve).

Basically near fine condition, color printed area appearing nearly as fresh as when first printed 140 years ago.

Sheet measures c. 11 3/4” x 8 5/8”.

Map area c. 9 5/8” x 7 3/8”.
