Engraved Map of China by English Cartographer Robert Wilkinson
Nineteenth century map of China by English cartographer Robert Wilkinson. One page. In near fine condition. Matted and framed. The entire piece measures 16 inches by 15 inches.
Most of English cartographer Robert Wilkinson's maps were derived from English map publisher John Bowles. Following Bowles' death in 1779, Wilkinson acquired the Bowles map plate library. After acquiring the map plate library, Wilkinson updated the plates until 1794 when he released The General Atlas of the World (1794, 1802, 1809). This atlas was reissued several times until Wilkinson's death in 1825. Wilkinson's other works include Bowen and Kitchin's Large English Atlas (1785), Speer's West Indies (1796), Atlas Classica (1797), and independently issued maps of New Holland (1820) and North America (1823).
