About the Item
Antique Map of China, Taiwan, Korea, Hong-Kong and Japan, 1903
Description: This antique map, titled "India (Southern Sheet) and the South Eastern Provinces," was engraved and published in 1903 by W.
A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It provides a beautiful and detailed depiction of the southern part of the Indian subcontinent and the southeastern provinces of what is now Myanmar (Burma).
The map is delicately colored in soft pastel shades to highlight provincial and regional boundaries, illustrating the rich geographical and cultural diversity of the region. Major cities, rivers, mountain ranges, and coastal features are marked with precision, reflecting the cartographic skill and artistry of Johnston’s team. The inset map of the South Eastern Provinces provides a closer look at the territories of Burma and its relationship to the Indian subcontinent.
This map captures the dynamic interplay between ancient cultures and British colonial influence at the turn of the 20th century, offering a fascinating window into an era of significant political and social change. The careful engraving and elegant typography make this map not just a historical document, but also a work of art that celebrates the beauty and complexity of southern Asia.
For collectors, historians, and lovers of Indian history and culture, this map is a testament to a time of exploration, trade, and cultural exchange, showcasing the enduring legacy of these lands at the crossroads of empires.
