More Information

This is a fine example of the 1879 Johnston map of central and southern China. Illustrating the journeys of the missionary John McCarthy from Chin-Kiang to Bhamo in 1877, Johnsont's map covers all of China from the borders with Burma and Tibet to Formosa. Several tea producing areas, including Kiang-Si as 'Tea Country,' Che-Kiang as 'Green Tea Country,' and Fo-Kien as 'Black Tea District' are noted. The map also notes the old course of the Whang-ho River (Yellow River) through Kiang-Su. Various towns, cities, rivers and other topographical details are also noted and is color coded according to provinces. Hong Kong and Cow-loon are noted as British territories. This map was drawn by A. K. Johnston and published by e. Stanford as part of the 1879 Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society and Monthly Record of Geography.

What our customers are saying

★★★★★

I purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.

I received my print within days of ordering, and it arrived well packed in a mailing tube. The print is high quality and exactly as advertised. I will use Historic Pictoric again in the future!

Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.

★★★★★

The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.

I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.

Great heavy paper quality and clarity of my nautical map. Will be a great addition to our home close to the beach!
