A rare and important 1907 zincographic map of Kiautschou Bay Concession, Qingdao / Tsingtau, compiled by a joint German-Chinese team led by Jacoby. This was an official map issued in Qingdao for official use. The map covers most of what is today Qingdao, Shandong, China (青岛市), embracing Jiaozhou Wan (Kiautschou Bay), and the surrounding territories. Place names appear both in English and Chinese - reflecting the fact that this map was made jointly by Jacoby and two Chinese surveyors, draughtsman Yang Kebin (杨可斌) and translator Gao Jingtao (高景陶). The city Tsingtau (meaning 'Green Island' in German) is here laid out, consisting of a German quarter to the south and a Chinese quarter (the original fishing village) to the north. The expansive harbor, constructed around the now-famous Zhanqiao Pier (青岛栈桥), was the heart of the colony, facilitating both maritime trade and German naval activity. (more details)
