A masterpiece. This fascinating hand colored 1809 map by Edinburgh cartographer John Pinkerton depicts Korea (Corea) and Japan. A spectacular, highly detailed map of this fascinating region with spectacular engraving, practically leaps off the page.  Possibly the finest map of Japan and Korea to appear in the 19th century.
