Anonymous: Map of the Yellow River

Ch'ing Dynasty

Handscroll / ink and color on silk

Handscroll : 48.5x818.5cm

This is a superb piece which can be called the essence of extant old maps of the Yellow River. The brilliant and magnificent handscroll, depicted in color during the early Ch'ing dynasty based on a detailed survey, is duplicated in approximately three fifths of the original size. The original has been recently transferred from the National Central Library to the National Palace Museum.
