Title: 'Carte d'Asie divisee en les principaux etats'.

A map of the whole of Asia shown on a Mercator scale. The sea of Japan is noted as the 'Mer de Coree'.

This map was included in an uncommon miniature atlas measuring 10.5 cm by 6,5 cm (approx). In order to fit within the covers it was folded three times. Through successive unfolding and refolding the paper suffered slight damage at one or two of the intersections. A professional restorer (national library) has repaired the damage without loss. At the same time the image was de-acified, cleaned (but not bleached white) and pressed.
