| Description: |
Map of China also
showing Korea, now depicted as peninsula, Japan and Ezo.
Large decorative cartouche upper left hand side

The map is taken from the Novus Atlas Sinensis, the
first western atlas of China, compiled from the maps
supplied by Martino Martini, the Jesuit missionary who
travelled through China 1643-1650. (It is interesting
that the geographical details of both Japan and Korea
differ from the specific map of the two countries from
the same atlas). |

Slight toning
throughout. Trimmed to borders on both sides and trimmed
into the image top and bottom. Modern hand colouring. |

| Information: |
Pieter
Schenk (1660 - c. 1718) was born in Germany but settled
in Amsterdam where he became a pupil of Gerard Walck (c.
1651 - 1726), the engraver. In 1687 he married Valck's
sister and thereafter the Schenk and Valck families were
active over a long period with a wide range of interests
as print sellers, publishers of books, maps,
topographical and architectural drawings and globe
makers. Although the Schenk family produced some
original maps, most of their atlases consisted of
printings from revised and re-worked plates originally
by Jansson, the Visschers, the Sansons and others. |
