Japan. 

(Old Maps, 19th Century Maps, Japan, Tokyo, Edo, Kyoto, Nippon, Honshu, Kyushu).

Issued 1890, NY by Scribner & Black.

Scarce oversized folio sheet late 19th century color lithographed map.

A scarce map indeed focusing on these islands. Inset lower right of environs of Tokyo. Below the title is a British Miles distance scale, below this a list of ports then open to foreign commerce.

A very uncommon map from a monumental atlas which was a collaboration between the long running A & C Black and Scribners of NY. This atlas had many supplemental maps unique to it not found in any other versions which precede it.

Clean example, nice looking.
