Map of Manchuria, compiled from the latest Russian Documents, and information supplied by H. E. M. James, Bombay Civil Service.'. H. E. M. James's map of Manchuria presents north-east Asia as a strategic frontier. Compiled from Russian documents and information supplied by James of the Bombay Civil Service, it reflects British interest in a region contested by Chinese, Russian and later Japanese influence. Rivers, passes, settlements and routes made Manchuria a subject of close imperial attention. This is a fine example of late nineteenth-century geopolitical mapping: less decorative travel map than intelligence document. A strong piece for collectors of China, Manchuria, Russia in Asia and strategic geography. . Royal Geographical Society / Henry Evan Murchison James. Published September 1887.
