The official title is “All-Under-Heaven Complete Map of the Everlasting Unified Qing Empire”. Modesty was not a concern…

It’s not obvious at a glance, but this map depicts not just China, but Southeast Asia, Africa, England, the Netherlands, possibly Portugal…it’s a map meant not for navigation, but for prestige and administration.

I did a podcast interview about this map with dealer Kevin Brown, if you’re curious.
