A very attractive colour folding map of Guangdong province, including inset maps of Guangzhou, Shantou, the European concessions of Hong Kong and Macau, as well as Hainan, the Paracel Islands and South China Sea. Scale of 1:1,300,000. Divided into eight panels, measuring 54.5 x 79cm. Little light browning, tide mark left margin barely intruding into printed image, few tiny chips at extremities, mended on reverse with washi in few places, though overall in very good condition.

A curious and colourful map of Guangdong, issued towards the end of the Nanjing decade, detailing the province's local political divisions, its infrastructure such as roads, railways and telegraph lines, as well as its topography through stylised mountain ranges, ridges and passes.

Inset maps of Hong Kong and Macau (noted as foreign concessions), alongside maps of the South China Sea and Paracel Islands, ostensibly affirms the status of these territories as rightful components of Guangdong in the view of the Kuomintang Government.
