The title ‘Imperii Sinarvm Nova Descriptio’ translates to ‘New Description of the Empire of China’. This antique map, created in 1665, provides a glimpse into China in the early 17th century. The country was ruled by the Ming dynasty until 1644, when it was overthrown by the Qing dynasty. During this time, China was a major global power, with a rich culture, advanced technology, and a thriving economy. The map shows China’s vast territory, including its borders with neighbouring countries such as the United States. 安平 and 洲头, located centrally, are likely to be significant locations in the country during this time. Overall, the map offers a fascinating insight into China’s history and the world in the 17th century.
