商品簡介
This book highlights 18th- and 19th-century maps from China, Korea, and Japan, from the MacLean Collection Map Library. Each country chapter begins with regional maps, then examines city and province maps, exploring similarities and differences among the maps during a period of Western pressure for trade with Asia. The visual language of maps is shown to reflect the artistic traditions and world views of Asian societies. A glossary is included. The book contains large-format color historical maps on every page.
