About this Item

Large folding coloured map, 54 x 77.5cm (including margin and captions), three inset maps, black and white photographic panorama of the Bund (with explanatory key in Japanese to major buildings) printed at the foot, paper tape repairs along folds on the reverse. Some browning, a little creased in places but overall good. Issued two days after the withdrawal of Chinese forces following the January 28th 1932 "Shanghai Incident" as a supplement to the 5th of March issue of the ?saka Asahi Shinbun ?????? (No.18,076). The January 28th, 1932 "Shanghai Incident" between China and Japan was part of larger regional territorial aspirations, and although an uneasy cessation of conflict was achieved in March, this was not to be the end of the matter. This interesting city plan shows Shanghai in detail with street names in both English and Chinese characters. The three inset maps are of south-central China, a plan of Nanjing city and a map of Wusong [Suzhou] District. A panoramic photograph of the Bund taken over the rooftops of Pudong with numbers indicating the Japanese names of the buildings is featured at the foot of the map. Seller Inventory # 215602
