About this Item
Description:
Amsterdam Djambatan Publishers 1966 Hardcover, xxxii+88pp., 22x29.5cm., richly illustr. in col., in very good condition. This atlas is a historical atlas of China originally based on Herrmann?s Historical and Commercial Atlas of China (1935). The 1966 edition republishes and updates Herrmann?s work, with maps in colour and often updated cartographic detail. The book begins with a prefatory essay by Paul Wheatley and editorial supervision by Norton Sydney Ginsburg. The maps trace China?s geography over long periods of history, including political boundaries, economic and commercial changes, transportation, population, and linguistic distribution. The atlas also includes place names in Chinese characters, with an index of geographical and proper names. The prefatory and front material (XXXII pages) provide context, bibliography, and explanatory notes. The historical maps are supplemented with more modern maps reflecting mid-20th century data. Overall, the atlas serves both as a historical reference for changes in China?s geography, administration, trade routes, population, languages and infrastructure, and as a visual tool for understanding China?s evolution over centuries.
