| Abstract | In the early months of 1718 a group of Qing officials and European missionaries presented an atlas to the Kangxi emperor (reigned 1661–1722) at the imperial palace in Beijing. It covered not only the Chinese provinces, but also Manchuria, Mongolia, parts of Siberia, Tibet and Korea. This atlas, known in Chinese as Huangyu quanlan tu 皇輿全覽圖or ‘Overview Maps of the Imperial Territories’, constituted a milestone in the history of cartography because it was the largest mapping endeavour based on exact measurements that the world had ever seen. Yet, surprisingly little is known about the production context of these maps, so that key questions about the unprecedented cross-cultural exchange of cartographical and geographical material stimulated by the mapping project have remained unanswered. |
