Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Very good. Original centerfold exhibits some light toning. Light soiling to outer margins. Original platemark. Size 18.75 x 20.75 Inches. This is a first edition 1814 John Thomson map of Asia, the Indian Ocean, and Australia. A Closer Look Coverage embraces all of Asia, Australia, the Indian Ocean, and the western Pacific. Partial coverage includes adjacent parts of Africa, Europe, and America. Relief is shown by hachure with towns, cities, and major topographical features identified. Major spheres of influence are color-coded, including China, Chinese Tartary, West Tartary, Siberia, Persia, Hindoostan, Turkey, and Arabia. The inclusion of Australia and New Zealand are likely meant to put the entire region into the context of the Indian Ocean, the primary vector of maritime trade with Asia and the New South Whales Colony - points of great interest to the British public. Australia is neatly divided with shading between New Holland and New South Wales. Great Thibet The map offers a novel illustration of 'Great Thibet', a vast territory including not only Tibet, but also Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, Siam (Thailand), and Malaya. Not only is Tibet here independent from China, it is also comparable in geographical significance to both China and India. It is not clear from where this vision of Tibet stems, although it is common to other contemporaneous British maps, including those of Cary and Pinkerton. Historical Context By the early 18th century, most of the world had been explored, but notable exceptions are evident on this map. These include an uncertain shoreline in Northern Australia (here identified as New Holland), an extremely primitive and speculative mapping of New Guinea, and a largely unmapped African Interior. The Liakhov Islands, just north of Siberia, make one of their first cartographic appearances. These islands, discovered by the Russian trader Ivan Liakhov, contained so much fossilized Mammoth Ivory that for nearly 100 years, scientists speculated that the islands were fully composed of ivory. Publication History and Census This map was prepared and engraved in 1814 in Edinburgh by J. and G. Menzies for inclusion in the 1817 first edition of John Thomson's New General Atlas .
