1834 Starling Map - Chinese Empire and Japan
The Cabinet Atlas of Thomas Starling is a late but interesting work, which was issued several times with slight variations in the title. It contains 46 miniature maps, well designed and finely engraved on steel by Starling, whose name follows the titles (with thanks to Geoffrey L. King: Miniature Antique Maps p.188). This map is from "Geographical Annual & Family Cabinet Atlas" published in London by Edward Bull in 1834.
This map of China & Japan is a perfect example of Starling's skill in incorporating a huge amount of detail in a small space. The clarity of his engraving is superb no matter whether it be settlements, rivers or mountains and the map greatly benefits from the original subtle wash hand colouring where the various regions and countries are individually coloured.
A fascinating little map.
The map measures 6" by 3.5', has original wash hand colouring, and is in very good condition.
The map is guaranteed to be over 180 years old.
