About This Item
Yokohama.: Thomas Cook and Son; Box of Curios Press. [circa1914].. Folding coloured map of Japan showing steamship and railway routes picked out in red, 28.5 x 336.2cms, large inset map shows Japan's connections with Korea, Manchuria and North China; tipped into the original blue card title-wrappers, small professionally sealed tear to a lower margin (no loss), early owner's neat inked tracing to a few railway routes, and, a note to the front cover "Ymato - Kobe - left side of Torr Rd." tracing; but overall an excellent copy of a scarce item of Thomas Cook ephemera. Very scarce early 20th Century map of Japan for English speaking tourists. We can find no copies listed on WorldCat.
Although the wrappers bear the Thomas Cook logo used in the late 19th Century, the map carries the updated logo (adding the ribbon "Australasia") in use from 1914 until the late 1920s. .
