A very uncommon map with a pictorial cartouche featuring Chinese merchants with a large tower in the background.

Near Singan (Xi'an), there is a note referring to the "Nestorian Stele," a limestone block dating back to 718 referring to early Christian communities in China.

References: Caboara #114.1.

Condition: B+

A dark impression that is slightly weak in the title cartouche, issued folding with very light toning and faint damp stains along the edges of the sheet.
