Rare Early 19th Century Map of Korea and Japan. "Corea and Japan" by Hall for Thomson's New General Atlas, Edinburgh, ca. 1817. Handsomely engraved and with original hand color, showing the islands of Japan and Korea correctly as a peninsula. At lower left is a lengthy excerpt from Captain Hall who in describing the many islands off the Korean coast mentions that "every attempt to enumerate them…after a time became quite hopeless", from "Capt. Hall's Account of a Voyage of Discovery to the West Coast of Korea in H.M. Ship Aleeste and Sloop Lyra 1816." There is some offsetting of the image from being folded vertically in the original atlas, otherwise very nice condition for this rare map.
Estimated Value $550 - 750.

 
Realized $518
