Description
AN ANTIQUE PRINTED MAP 'JAPAN' BY A. ARROWSMITH, London 1802. Steel plate Uncoloured. An interesting, clear and detailed map of Japan, excluding Hokkaido but including a blank outline of Korea. The names of the provinces, and surrounding islands, are given. Aaron Arrowsmith (1750-1823) was an English mapmaker and member of the Arrowsmith family of geographers, arguably the best and most influential mapmakers of the period. This map is distinctive for its unusual background shading of the sea areas, highlighting the islands' shapes. 250 by 200mm (10 by 8 inches).
