The collection consists of a woodblock print showing Beijing (Peking) within the city walls, oriented to the north. The print is probably a mid- to late-nineteenth century copy of a print from the Qing Dynasty (1796-1820). The map includes street names, various public buildings and structures, including palace grounds, temples, city walls and gates, and other points of interest. It is a popular print, intended for practical use by travellers. The map has been annotated in pencil with English transliterations of names of city gates. An English title "Plan of Peking" has also been added.
Please note that the contents of the collection and the language and terminology used reflect the context and culture of the time of its creation.
