Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d' Anville was a French cartographer who compiled over 200 maps. This map is from his most important work 'Nouvel Atlas de la Chine', the principal cartographic authority on China during the 18th century, published in Hague, 1737. The sources of the map were by Jesuit missionaries commissioned by Emperor Kangxi (1654-1722), who between 1708 and 1716 surveyed China. With these surveys it was printed in 1719 the woodblock Chinese Atlas '康熙皇輿全覽圖' -a copperplate edition was requested by the Emperor to Matteo Ripa (1682-1746) and the copper plates exist to this day. This particular map is of the Guangdong Province, the first detailed and accurate map of Hong Kong, Macau and the Pearl River Delta to be issued. The province was the most considerable of the southern Provinces of China and was bounded in the north east by Fokien, Kiangsi in the north, Quang si in the west, and the Kingdom of Tong king. It was divided into ten countries, which contained ten cities of the First Order, and eighty four of the Second and Third Order.
