Very attractive and highly detailed folding wall map of China and Korea prepared for the China Inland Mission, an Protestant Christian missionary organisation.

This large wall map shows China divided into its Provinces with the use of striking colour, and the impressive mountainous topography of the country is elegantly displayed with a soft lithographic technique. The map also marks road, railways and railways under constructions. The locations of stations of the China Inland Mission have been underlined in red, with other Protestant Missions underlined in blue.

The China Inland Mission was established in 1865 by James Taylor Hudson (1832-1905), a British Protestant missionary who spent 51 years in China. In 1964, the Mission became known as the Overseas Missionary Fellowship, or the OMF. It was around this time, or shortly after that missionaries were forbidden access to China.

In the lower right corner of the map there is a legend of the specifications of the Walled Cities, differentiating between their prefectures, departments, districts and explains the iconography used across the map to mark important buildings or other landmarks.

Printed colour. Folded.
