Nineteenth-Century American Cartography of the Japanese Archipelago
Published in 1855 by J.H. Colton, this rare antique map offers a detailed geographical survey of Japan during a transformative period of Western contact. The steel-plate engraving accurately charts the primary islands of Nippon (Honshu), Kiusiu (Kyushu), Sikok (Shikoku), and Yesso (Hokkaido), utilizing early hydrographic surveys and records compiled from Siebold alongside the United States Japan Expedition.
Historical Maritime Insets and Regional Border Topography
Enclosed by a classic decorative vine border, the archival print incorporates two significant inset maps, including a detailed layout of Yesso with the Japanese Kuriles and a precise naval chart of Nagasaki Bay. It serves as an exceptional primary source document for historians researching East Asian trade routes, coastal topography, and mid-nineteenth-century international maritime exploration.
