This map is centered on China covering the area from the Chinese Tartary to the Gulf of Tonkin and the northern part of the Philippine Island of Luzon and from the Gobi Desert to Korea and Japan. It also includes the islands of Taiwan and Hainan. Most of the sources for the making of this map were earlier French maps by Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville. This map is also notorious for belonging to the transitional phase of very illustrated maps to more accurate and simpler maps.
