A rare 1889 large-scale chromolithograph map of Macau, China, by António Heitor and the Sociedade de Geografia de Lisboa. This map follows the 1887 Sino-Portuguese Treaty, considered one of the Unequal Treaties following the Opium Wars, which granted the Portuguese full sovereignty over Macau. The map can be divided into two sections, the Chinese community and village in the northeastern quadrant, here colored grey and full of farm fields, and the Portuguese urbanization encroaching from the south. Episcopal buildings, fortifications, and civil institutions are highlighted in red. (more details)
