AN ANTIQUE PRINTED MAP 'JAPAN INLAND SEA' London C.1870-; Lithograph Original colour. A finely produced map of southern Japan, focusing on the area known as The Inland Sea - the waterways between the islands of Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku, and now recognised as a resort destination on account of its scenery and tranquility. Internal detail is confined to the boundaries of provinces and coastal
cities, and, in the sea to the northwest is marked 'East Korea Strait'. An unusual large-scale map presumably produced for an early guide book to the region. 340 by 580mm (13-5 by 22.75 inches).
