Nouvelle Carte de l’Asie dressée par A. R. Frémim; revue pour la partie septentrionale et l'empire chinois par J. Ktaproth
A. R. Fremin (drawn); revised for northern Asia and the Chinese empire by Julius Klaproth
How we know
compilation Assembled from earlier sources. The author did not observe it directly.
Compilation from published surveys and travel reports; no observation by the mapmaker.
Research notes
- Klaproth's revisions rest on Chinese and Manchu sources (Jesuit surveys, Qing gazetteers) read by him; Rumsey transcribes the name as 'Ktaproth' (catalogue typo).
Why it matters
Klaproth's revision of the northern and Chinese parts of Fremin's Asia is the orientalist-corrected base on which the SDUK 1838 sheets explicitly drew ('Sources: Klaproth'); it is the closest available witness to Klaproth's own Central Asian cartography since his 1836 Carte de l'Asie centrale was not found in the searched collections.
Places named
Asia; Siberia; Chinese Empire (Mongolia, Manchuria, Eastern Turkestan, Tibet); Central Asia
