The map was made from the China map by Jean Baptiste Anville 'Carte generale de la Chine : dressée sur les cartes particulieres que l'Empereur Cang-hi a fait lever sur les lieux par les RR. PP. Jesuites mission[n]aires dans cet Empire'. The sources of Anville's map were Jesuit missionaries commissioned by Emperor Kangxi (1654-1722), who between 1708 and 1716 surveyed China. With these surveys it was printed in 1719 a woodblock Chinese Atlas '康熙皇輿全覽圖'. A copperplate edition was later requested by the Emperor to Matteo Ripa (1682-1746) and the copper plates exist to this day. The map includes China with Taiwan and Hainan. The explanation on the left bottom corner gives some information necessary for the understanding of the chart, most of it is about the Chinese language references on the map.
