Göttingen State and University Library in Germany (Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen – SUB) possesses a single surviving copy of a general map of the Qing Empire, which until early 2014 was considered to be lost (shelfmark: Cod. Ms. Mapp. 34, see Map 1). The map is a middle-format hand-coloured block-print. All the place-names and other textual elements in the map are given exclusively in Chinese. The map is authored by a known Chinese scholar, Li Mingche 李明徹 (1751-1832), but is undated. Yet, the time of its creation can be reliably approximated to the mid 1820s, most likely 1825-1826, by comparison with other cartographical works of the map’s author, as well as other information available about the map. The map exhibits a clear stamp of the Western mapmaking, primarily that of French cartography of the 18th century, yet its fine fusion with the system of traditional Chinese cartographic conventions and aesthetic preferences makes it an interesting hybrid cartographic specimen. This article proposes an initial analysis of the map providing a basis for future more detailed study. In particular, I advance the hypothesis that the map is an underappreciated attempt to reformat a traditional image of the Qing imperial realm, that of the “Great Qing Everlastingly Unified大清年萬年一統” known from the famous Blue Maps, which were current in China in the first quarter of the 19th century.
