Article description

Copper engraving, uncolored as published. The map shows the current city of Xiamen. This nautical chart offers only limited details inland, but the city of Amoy (Xiamen), as well as adjacent points of interest including fortifications, palaces, pagodas, and nearby cities, are rendered pictorially. On the island itself a large mountain, most likely Xianyue Mountain, with a tower, is depicted. Published in an atlas volume of Nicolaus Bellin's ,Histoire generale des Voyages' around 1760 in Paris.
