Father de Mailla's maps were published in volume 18 of <i>Lettres edifantes</i>, which dealt with the missions of the Jesuits on both hemispheres. <br></br> This copper-plate engraved antique map shows the extent of Chinese Imperial control over the western regions of Taiwan including the western coastlines of Taiwan and the adjacent Chinese mainland of Fujian province. Includes generalized, small-scale coverage of the Penghu Islands (the Pescadores) to the east of Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait. A more detailed look at the Penghu islands is available on another map after de Mailla in our inventory: <b>"Carte de Iles de Pong-hou …".</b> <br></br> Based on the volume and page collation numbers this antique map is believed to be from the Toulouse edition of <i>Lettres edifantes</i> printed in 1810.
