  • Printed on two joined pieces of cloth, this large missionary map outlines the nations and some provinces from the far reaches of northern China to India and Sri Lanka to Korea, and a large inset of Japan. With printed color it is easy to distinguish each nation and see what towns were outposts for this Mission group which here seems to focus on eastern India, Burma, Thailand (here “Siam”) and parts of what would be modern Laos. Notably throughout parts of Burma there are numerous towns added by hand. While we've encountered maps of China from different missions groups, this is the first we've seen for all of Asia with a focus on more remote regions.

    Condition is very good. Image size is 52 x 66 .
