Abe Yoshito's map was issued in the mid 19th century as part of the changing perception of Japanese geography based on newly introduced western maps. This double hemisphere map is based upon a French map published in 1835. It is sometimes issued with a large panel of text on its upper section. This example lacks the text but it is unknown if it was issued like this or whether the sheet with the text was lost at a later stage. As almost always, there is a little worming on the map which has been repaired. Unusually for a Japanase map, it has not been backed on tissue. Original hand colour. #theworld #raremaps #antiquemaps #history #maps #mapa #mapping #Japanese #antique #themaphouse #london #map #🌍 #🗺 #📍

This rare map of Barbados is the earliest printed map of the island 🏝 Published by Richard Ligon in 1657, it names the owners of all of the principal houses, estates and plantations - many of these names still exist today as places or have been passed down as family names of descendants, both fomer estate owners and slaves. The map is peppered with vignettes of life on the island - armoured riders, land managers, mistreatment of slaves, camels and wild pigs, ships and even sea monsters. Though crude, this map's importance to the history of Barbados cannot be overstated. #barbados #raremaps #antiquemaps #history #maps #mapa #mapping #geography #map #island #cartography #westindies
