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 earlier maps. Nicely detailed with regions delineated, it shows towns, roads, rivers, lakes and mountains.

References: Walter #128.

Condition: B+

A crisp impression with full contemporary color, very light soiling, and a couple of minor printer's creases. There are a few short tears confined to the edge of the sheet.

Estimate: $200 - $230

Sold for: $150
