This miniature map of China, Korea, and Taiwan depicts major towns and key topographical features. The Great Wall is illustrated at top. This is the third state, with Korea revised as a peninsula. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson's nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps, including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson.
