Description

This 1809 map, titled General Route from Pekin to Canton, provides a detailed depiction of the main travel route between the imperial capital of Peking (modern-day Beijing) and the southern port city of Canton (modern-day Guangzhou). Published during a period of heightened European interest in China, the map reflects the efforts to document and understand the geography and transportation networks of one of the world's largest and most populous empires. 

The map spans a significant portion of eastern China, focusing on key provinces along the route: Tche-Li (Zhili), Shan-Si (Shanxi), Kiang-Nan (Jiangnan), Tche-Kiang (Zhejiang), Kiang-Si (Jiangxi), and Quang-Tong (Guangdong). It also includes prominent features such as the Gulf of Tche-Li (Peking Gulf), the Yellow Sea, and the Strait of Formosa, highlighting the region's coastal geography and maritime connections. 

The Grand Canal and the "Usual Routen Route to Pekin" is marked prominently, along with the land route to the west.
