Description:
This map is an engraving of Macao dating to 1750 by French cartographer Jacques Nicholas Bellin. It depicts the Island of Macao in full as well as several other important islands on the Canton coast including the Chinese village of Quang-Tchew-Fu Canton. Also depicts Tiger Island, Luitem, and interesting features such as the Lion Tower, and the mouth of the Fokien River. Because this is a navigational map, some oceanic depths are indicated. Fine or perfect condition. Measures 8.5 x 11 inches. Maps are great gifts and perfect decorative additions to any home or office.
