Journeying Back in Time Through Maps
Centuries before the air plane was invented and the world was much larger than it seems now, Western travelers tried in their own ways to explore the East and, as a gift back home, they often brought with them printed maps of the unforeseen cultures. Now, for the first time, a comprehensive collection of antique maps of China is available in a book authored by our HKUST scholar. This will be the first and unique scholarly work in cartography. Titled “Regnum Chinae: The Printed Western Maps of China to 1735”, the book features 127 Western printed maps of China from 1584 to 1735, which has taken Dr. Marco CABOARA, Digital Scholarship and Archives Manager at HKUST Lee Shau Kee Library, and his team four years to finish.
