Summary
DescriptionEvariste Huc carte voyage.jpg |
English: An unfocused copy of Dufour's 1840 "Map of China and Its Tributary States", used in Huc's 1850 Remembrances of a Voyage in Tartary, Tibet, and China during the Years 1844, 1845, and 1846 with a dark line tracing the route of Huc and his fellow missionary Joseph Gabet. Note that the eastern dark line is Dufour's line tracing the Grand Canal and not Huc's route; the northeastern point beginning his route is also misplaced. Both were corrected for the 1853 2nd ed.
The Yellow River is still shown following its lower course from before the massive floods of the 1850s. Shanghai is entirely omitted as less important than Hangzhou (Hang-tcheou), Suzhou (Sou-tcheou), and Songjiang (Song-kiang, entirely misplaced to the north bank of the Yangtze). Français : Carte de la Chine et des États-Tributaires par A. H. Dufour. Carte hors-texte de la Chine par A. H. Dufour, 1840, trajet du voyage ajouté. |
