About this Item

Title

  • Aufnahmen im Gebirgslande nördlich und westlich von Peking

Summary

  • "This map by Otto Franz von Möllendorff (1848-1903) originally was published as one of two appendixes to an 1881 article by Möllendorff in the journal of the German Geographical Society. Möllendorff was a zoologist and German consular official whose primary interest was the animals of northern China and Central Asia. He used a number of existing maps, such as those by the British Admiralty, the Russian geophysicist Hermann Fritsche, and the Polish-Russian military officer and scientist Nikolai Przewalski, as well as his own surveys and observations, to produce this highly detailed map-one that greatly expanded cartographic knowledge of the region. The map was engraved by the German cartographer Richard Kiepert (1846-1915), the son of the famed geographer Heinrich Kiepert (1818-99). Möllendorff was the brother of Paul Georg von Möllendorff (1847-1901), a famous German linguist and diplomat who was an adviser to the Korean king Kojong and the author of a system for romanizing the Manchu language."
