AMOS DOOLITTLE ENGRAVING OF ASIA
Engraved map of Asia, 9 3/4" x 8 1/2", executed by American engraver AMOS DOOLITTLE (1754-1832), and marked with Doolittle's name, and also: "Geographical Comm. to Bible". The continent is readily recognizable to modern eyes, with only Japan, New Guinea, and Korea differing noticeably from their actual shapes. Modern India is labeled: "Hindoostan", and China and Tibet are shown as occupying nearly equal amounts of territory. Also labeled are tribal territories controlled by Mongols, Tartars, Tungusians, and "Manshurs" (Manchus). Folds, ragged right edge, moderate toning throughout, else very good.
