A lovely map of Japan and Korea showing the discoveries of Broughton and Krusenstern who traveled in the region in 1796-97 and 1805-11 respectively. In Japan Kyrushu, Shikoku, and Awajishima are significantly more correct than early maps. It is extremely detailed and colored by regions showing towns, roads, rivers, lakes and mountains.

References: Walter #128.

Condition: B

Some light scattered toning and a short repaired tear into border, else very good.
