Map of Shanghai - Carte dépliante en couleurs

North China Daily News & Herald limited, Shanghaï 1933, 100x74cm, une feuille rempliée.

Map of Shanghai – Folding color map
tNorth China Daily News & Herald limited | Shanghaï 1933 | 100 x 74 cm | one map
Rare original folding colored map of the city of Shanghai printed on heavy paper and including the street names in English, as well as an extensive grid to find locations. It was published under the authority of the Shanghai city council in 1933.
A skillfully repaired tear touching the index.
There is a variation of this map in existence – without the grid or the key – of which an example is preserved in the University of Chicago library. We have not otherwise been able to find any other example of this map.
This very detailed map still shows the old town under the name «Chinese City.» Each district or foreign concession (particularly the French one) is marked out and named in a miniaturization on the bottom right of the map, these concessions will finally be returned in 1943. Significant places and places of interest are shown, as well as the railway lines.
Maps of Shanghai before the Battle of Shanghai are rare and sought after.
