Description: Antique print titled 'Cities of the Province of Kyang-si, Fo-kyen, Shan-Si & Yun-nan'. Old map depicting four walled cities of the Chinese Qing dynasty provinces Yunnan, Shanxi, Fujian and Guangxi. Originates from 'A description of the Empire of China and Chinese-Tartary' by J.B. du Halde. Du Halde's work inspired great interest in China among Europeans, and was a ground breaking work in geography.
