Note:
This map was made by Scottish hydrographer James Horsburgh who worked for the British East India Company (EIC) and charted much of China, Southeast Asia, India and contiguous regions in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. However, as easily perceived by the insets, it is also a compilation of knowledge collected by many other authors. Horsburgh went to sea at the age of 16 and in 1786 sailed from Batavia to Ceylon and was subsequently shipwrecked on the island of Diego Garcia. This influenced him to produce accurate maps. EIC hydrographer Alexander Dalrymple published three of Horsburgh’s earliest charts and observations on the Eastern Seas on behalf of the EIC. Upon Horsburgh's retirement, due to his high society contacts, he assured nomination and approval as a Fellow of the Royal Society and continued to publish on nautical navigation. After his death and with the demise of the EIC, his charts passed to the Admiralty Hydrographic Office, who reissued them. This particular chart is very detailed for not only navigational aid information is given on the extensive text legends at the top of the chart, but also Chinese language and costumes information. For some of the places it is given the English name but also the traditional Chinese. The chart shows the east coast of China, the Yellow Sea and extends to the west coast of Korea; northern Taiwan is also included. Detailed soundings are given for great part o the chart and all the insets.
