Average. Significant wormholing. Laid down on Japanese tissue, as issued. Size 9 x 6.5 Inches. A scarce 1875 (Meiji 8) Japanese map and chart of the Chao Phraya River up to the city of Bangkok. Japanese interest in the region increased considerably in the late 19th century as Japan emerged from the Meiji Restoration and sought to emulate Western empires' interests and activities in Southeast Asia. A Closer Look The Chao Phraya River winds from top to bottom, running through Bangkok (???) and emptying into the Gulf of Thailand. The characters written on either side of the river (??) refer to rice fields, while a small forest is denoted near the mouth of the river. On the water, two small canals (?) are indicated. Shallow waters are signified by dots, while a dashed line at the mouth of the Chao Phraya shows the route boats generally take to access Bangkok. At bottom, anchorages are shown along with notes about the effects of winds blowing from east and west. A lookout post (???) sits at the mouth of the river. A scale under the title is provided in nautical miles. At the time this map was produced, the fortunes of Japan and Siam were diverging. While Siam had been a major power in Southeast Asia for several centuries, it was bumping up against European powers now operating in the region, especially the British. In 1855, under threat of British gunships, Siam signed an 'unequal treaty' that opened it up to foreign trade and influence, setting off dramatic economic and social changes. The kingdom maintained its autonomy through clever diplomacy, but also because it served as a convenient buffer between French and British interests in Southeast Asia. Japan underwent a similar process at roughly the same time but was more protected as a set of islands at the far edge of Eurasia. As this map shows, already by 1875, Japanese cartographers had integrated foreign methods and were producing maps of regions far beyond Japan's own shores. As two cultures with long-established trade and cultural ties as well as two of the only countries in Asia to never be colonized, Japan and Siam maintained good relations in the following decades, which ultimately culminated in an alliance during the Second World War. Publication History and Census This map, simply titled 'The Fourth Map' (???), was prepared to illustrate an extremely rare Meiji Era Japanese travelogue describing a voyage to Thailand or Siam titled Images of Travels in Siam (?????), published in 1875 by the Ministry of Industry (???, K?bush?), which had a wider range of activities than its name suggests. We have identified only two other examples of this map, located in the archives of the Waseda University Library and the Kyoto University Library. References: OCLC 838714642, 33786201.

Good. Stabilized on linen. Loss at centerfold repaired with some reinstatement. Some water damage in bottom left. Size 70 x 39 Inches. A huge and unrecorded c. 1958 bilingual wall map of Thailand, produced by Shell (operating locally as the Shell Company of Thailand, Ltd.) and printed by George Philip and Son. Emphasizing highways and topographic detail, it reflects expanding geological knowledge and infrastructural development, both of which were of critical importance to both Thailand and Shell. A Closer Look This stunning wall map presents Thailand with administrative boundaries, railways, highways (completed, under construction, and proposed), cities and towns, topographic detail and other features noted throughout in both Thai and English. A legend below the title explains the used of symbols and notation, while a charming compass rose containing the Shell logo appears above the title. Shell in Thailand Benefitting from the treaties signed by (or perhaps imposed on) Thailand in the mid-19th century, which guaranteed free trade and open access to the country by foreign enterprises, the brothers Marcus and Samuel Samuel (not a typo) established Thailand's first oil terminal (Pak Lat Terminal Samut Prakan) in 1892 to store oil carried by the Murex , the world's first oil tanker. In 1897, the Samuel Brothers established the Shell Transport and Trading Company, which in 1907 merged with the Royal Dutch Petroleum Co., forming Royal Dutch Shell. In fact, the two companies had collaborated prior to their merger, including in the establishment of the Asiatic Petroleum Company in 1903 to operate in the Asian region (East and Southeast Asia). After a highly successful run of operations, the Asiatic Petroleum Company was forced to cease operations in 1939 due to World War II (1939 - 1945). After the war, Shell was invited to resume operations by the Thai government, and did so under a new company, the Shell Company of Thailand, Ltd. Although initially focused on storing and selling petroleum products in Thailand, in the late 1970s the company began explorations in the country, discovering a commercially viable oilfield in Lan Krabue District, near Phitsanulok north of Bangkok, which was named the 'Sirikit Field' after the country's queen. Historical Context During the Second World War, Thailand's military dictator Plaek Phibunsongkhram (popularly known simply as Phibun) tried to balance his country and his regime between Japan and Western powers. Initially siding with Japan, especially after its rapid successes in Southeast Asia in late 1941 and early 1942, Phibun accepted Japanese occupation and influence over his government. However, a Thai resistance movement, supported by the royal family, fought these efforts, and as Japan's fortunes worsened, was able to have Phibun removed from power. Though tried as a war criminal at the end of the war, Phibun retained considerable popular support, and he soon returned to power in a 1947 coup. Though maintaining a military dictatorship, he discarded the fascist-style mobilization and propaganda of his first term in power and pitched himself as a quasi-democrat and anti-Communist crusader, aligning closely with the United States in the Cold War conflicts that consumed Southeast Asia. A combination of foreign investment and aid helped Thailand's economy to develop rapidly in the Cold War period. Always prone to grandiose designs, Phibun pushed for the rapid expansion of the country's nascent national highway network (portions of which were paid for in full by the U.S. government). Still, his long presence in Thai politics had earned him enemies, including among the Thai royal family, and his attempts to stymie fair elections angered the public. Phibun himself was removed from power in a coup in 1957, after which he lived in exile in Japan, but he set the tone for Thai politics for decades to come, with a focus on infrastructure and economic development, openness to the outside world (especially.
