JAPAN AND KOREA drawn and engraved by John Rapkin for "The Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World" published by Tallis & Co in 1851.

An attractive and decorative mid 19th map of Japan and Korea illustrated with vignette engravings of Yedo, Coreans (in national dress) and the State Barge.

Original outline hand colouring which has been augmented with additional later hand-colouring. The colouring of the vignettes and border, which was undertaken by a specialist, has enhanced the decorative appeal of this attractive map.

In excellent condition and from the preferred edition without the central fold. This map was removed from the Atlas myself the covers were in poor condition and a few of the maps were already missing.

Printed on heavy grade paper, blank verso and unfolded.

Mounted in a cream mount, protected in cellophane and ready for framing or for giving as a gift.

Dimensions: Mount 45 x 37.5 cm Image (mount window) 33.5 x 25 cm
