Huquang, Kiangsi, Che Kiang, ac Fokien, Provin: sivae Praefecturae Regni Sinens:. . .

Fine example of the Valk & Schenk edition of Jansson's map of Hunan (Huquang), Jiangxi (Kiangsi), Zhejiang (Che Kiang), and Fujian (Fokien) in eastern China.

The map is drawn largely from Blaeu's maps compiled by Jesuit Father Martino Martini who traveled through the region between 1643 and 1650.

A legend at bottom right identifies cities and towns of various sizes, forts, and mines for gold, silver, tin, and iron. Shanghai is named Sungkiang.

The title cartouche is flanked by Chinese men and the scale of miles cartouche is surrounded by putti.

Peter Schenk the Elder (1660-1711) moved to Amsterdam in 1675 and began to learn the art of mezzotint. In 1694 he bought some of the copperplate stock of the mapmaker Johannes Janssonius, which allowed him to specialize in the engraving and printing of maps and prints. He split his time between his Amsterdam shop and Leipzig and also sold a considerable volume of materials to London.

Peter Schenk the Elder had three sons. Peter the Younger carried on his father’s business in Leipzig while the other two, Leonard and Jan, worked in Amsterdam. Leonard engraved several maps and also carried on his father’s relationship with engraving plates for the Amsterdam edition of the Histoire de l'Académie Royale des Sciences.
