皇輿全覽分省圖
after the Kangxi Jesuit survey; Rockhill gift
How we know
firsthand The author saw the places or people described.
official survey: Jesuit-directed triangulation 1708-1718 for the Kangxi emperor; this copy holds the provinces of China proper, not the Manchurian, Mongolian or Tibetan sheets
Research notes
- LOC dating 1721 is inferred; Prime meridian Beijing. The 1717 woodblock, 1719 manuscript and 1721 copperplate states differ in sheet count (Fuchs).
Why it matters
A near-contemporary copy of the Kangxi atlas provincial sheets including Shengjing; the frontier sheets (Mongolia, Tibet, Hami) that matter most for Tartary are in the Fuchs 1941 facsimile (see companion) and in BL and Kyoto copies.
