Abstract
This uncommon French marine chart shows the Chinese coast extending from Macao and Hong Kong to Korea and the southern coast of Japan. Taiwan is also clearly shown. It was one of the earliest charts to mark Hong Kong, shortly before its rapid growth in significance as a British Colonial trading port.
