"The Kingdom of Korea (called by the Chinese Kau-Li-Qua and by the Manchew Solho Koron)", Du Halde/D'Anville

This map is one of the earliest to show the Korean Peninsula as a separate region. A notation on the map attributes the basis of the map to one which was copied ""from one in the King of Korea's Palace by a Chinese Lord, sent on an Embassy to that Monarch by the Emperor of China in 1710"". Even so, the peninsula is a bit distorted, but covered with fascinating detail. Below the fine title cartouche is a dedication to John David Barbut (Secretary to the Post Master General). A scarce and important map; the first separate map of Korea printed in English.
