Description: Bonin Islands Coffin Islands Japan Perry expedition 1854 Nautical Survey Map The Coffin Islands Surveyed by Order of Commodore M.C. Perry. (Old Maps, 19th Century Maps, Asia, Japan, Bonin Islands, Coffin Islands, Parry Expedition, Nautical Survey). Issued Washington, D.C., 1854 by U.S. Government. Engraved by Siebert. Drawn by Edward Sels. Excellent early nautical chart issued by the U.S. Government relating to Japan. Excellent large early antique official Asian coastal map from a seminal and transformational American voyage of Discovery and Exploration. In relatively well preserved condition, some small separation at fold line intersections. All flaws are natural time and age, no neglect or physical mistreatment of the map. Paper is uniformly age toned. Some old wrinkling along top left edge which is uneven as issued for inset tab placement. Paper is thin bond type and is sturdier than many U.S. Gov. charts of this era which were often printed on near tissue paper. Some age browning & scattered spotting, toning along some fold lines but paper still retains much structural integrity. All faults attest to age and authenticity and are not offensive visually or physically. Overall remains a nice original unsophisticated mid-19th century nautical chart relating to Asia & Japan. Original fold lines as issued. Sheet measures c. 22" x 16" Engraved area measures c. 20 1/2" x 14" [R35607].
