Very good. Very minor dampstaining to margins. Slight foxing. Old color. Size 21 x 24 Inches. The rare 1753 Johannes II van Keulen / Jan de Marre nautical map of the Pearl River Delta (??????), including Macau (Macao), Lantao (Lantoan), Guangzhou (Quantong), and the first printed mapping of Hong Kong (Lantaon Falso). This rare map in fine original color was compiled for the sixth volume of the Zee-Fakkel - the legendary Dutch East India Company (VOC / Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie ) 'Secret Atlas.' Lantao Falso - Hong Kong This is likely the earliest printed western map to depict Hong Kong in any form. Here it is labeled 'Lantaon Falso', terminology borrowed from the Portuguese meaning 'False Lantao'. At the time, it was unclear to cartographers and navigators that both Lantao (Lantaon) and Lantaon Falso were islands, and so both are here mapped as part of the mainland. In the early to mid-18th century, the Qing maintained a fort and single station on Lantao. This was Fan Lau Fort (????)built in 1729 at a high point on the southwestern extension of Lantau. It was both a critical defensive position and a beacon telling mariners to turn north towards Guangzhou (Canton), the only place in China Europeans were then permitted to trade. Sailing from the east, from trading entrepôts in Japan and the Philippines, navigators would first note the Victoria Peak, which some mistook for the equally mountainous Lantao, hence the name 'Lantaon Falso'. Deciphering the Map Other points can be recognized. To decipher this map, we have partially turned to a chart of 1780, the earliest British chart of these waters, which is in part derived from the present map. Mirs Bay (Mers Baay) is recognizable in the upper right. A partially mapped inlet 'R. Povado' (Iron River) is modern day Hebe Harbor. The two large islands to the west of Lantaon Falso are Lamma Island. Shenzhen is identified as Sinningham-hien, while the river entrance just south is likely Shenzhen Bay or even Tai La Kok. Still further north in the delta we can recognize a host of fortifications defending Guangzhou and the Pearl River estuary against the ever-present threat of piracy. Guangzhou, here identified as Quantong, is beautifully rendered in profile with multiple Chinese multi-tier pagoda towers and other buildings. Macau Macau appears at center, stressing its significance. Macao was a Portuguese colony established at the mouth of the Pearl River in 1557, when the Qing granted a permission for a permeant settlement. For centuries it served as the epicenter of European trade and culture in China. Here it is represented in insular form, with a series of fortifications defending access. Lampacau This is one of the few contemporaneous sources for the Island of Lampacau (???). This small island to the west of modern-day Macao was critical to the Sino-Portuguese trade in the 16th century. In subsequent centuries, silting in the Pearl River Delta has resulted in the island merging with its neighbors into a larger island and its historic location being lost. Lampacau became important for the China trade c.?1550, when the center of the Portuguese offshore trade in the Pearl River Delta gradually shifted there from the more remote Shangchuan (Sang-Tsaon, St. John's Island). Lampacau's significance dwindled after 1560, when trade recentered on the newly established colony of Macao. The Secret Atlas Much has been made of the so-called VOC 'Secret Atlas'. In 1753, Johannes II van Keulen (1704 - 1755) produced a revolutionary expansion of his grandfather's Zee-Fakkel . Published as Volume VI, the atlas was the first van Keulen publication to focus on Asian waters. For three generations the Van Keulen's were the official cartographers of the VOC. To protect their long-standing trade monopoly, the VOC jealously guarded hydrographic data on East Asian waters, refusing to allow charts to be printed and requiring oaths of secrecy from the Van Keulens (and Blaeus before them). By 1753, already.

Very good. Wide clean margins. Size 31.5 x 22.25 Inches. A stunning large-format 1796 nautical chart and city map of Macao, its harbor, and the surrounding seas. This map was drawn by Benjamin Baker based on observations collected by the George Macartney Embassy - the first British embassy to China. The map is impressively proportioned and finely engraved, offering meticulous detail of Portugal's primary entrepôt in China. This map is considered the largest and finest 18th-century map of Macao obtainable. The Failed Embassy George Macartney was dispatched to Beijing in 1792 with a mission from King George III to convince the Chinese Emperor Qianlong to ease restrictions on trade between Great Britain and China, and to allow the British to have a permanent embassy. The well-equipped and impressive embassy traveled via Madeira, Tenerife, Rio de Janeiro, the Cape of Good Hope, Indonesia, and Macau. Macartney was accompanied by George Leonard Staunton (1737 - 1801) who served as the expedition's secretary and chronicler, and Staunton's 11-year-old son, nominally the ambassador's page, but also the only person in the retinue able to speak Mandarin. The Embassy was poorly managed from the beginning and despite considerable pomp from the English perspective, appeared poor and rag-tag to the Qianlong Emperor. Partly through lack of preparation, partly through arrogance, and partly due to the Emperor's distaste for the British, the Embassy failed in all of its primary objectives. They did accomplish some reconnaissance bringing to England some of the earliest first-hand accounts of the distant empire. While much has been made of Macartney's refusal to kowtow to the emperor, the failure of the mission might equally be laid to the Chinese Emperor's insistence - in a subsequent letter to King George III - in referring to all Europeans as 'barbarians', all nations of the earth as being subordinate to China, and addressing the king himself as a Chinese subject, abjuring him to 'Tremblingly obey and show no negligence!' Macao Macao, or Macau, is a former colony of the Portuguese Empire established in 1557 as a trade entrepôt with Ming China. Macau reached its peak of prosperity in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, transforming from a small trading center into a major city. When the Qing conquered China in 1644, foreign maritime trade was banned, leaving Macao as the only access point for foreign trade into China. Later, regulations were loosened, and the Canton system was reinstated, but all foreign ships were required to stop at Macau before proceeding to Guangzhou / Canton. Following the First Opium War (1839 - 1842) and the establishment of Hong Kong (1841) as a British Crown Colony, Macau lost its role as a major port and entered into a long period of decline. Portugal paid an annual rent and administered the territory under Chinese sovereignty until 1887, when it gained perpetual colonial rights in the Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Peking. The colony remained under Portuguese rule until 1999, when it was transferred to China. Today, like nearby Hong Kong, Macau is considered a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China. Publication History and Census The map was drawn by Benjamin Baker and published by George Nicol to illustrate George Leonard Staunton's An authentic account of an embassy from the King of Great Britain to the Emperor of China . The map is rare to the market, but well represented institutionally. References: OCLC 213892451. Library of Congress, G7823.M2 1796 .B2 TIL.
