De Tempel Kiomidsu. XXXIV. Tafel. (1729)
by (Kaempfer, Engelbert, 1651-1716) ; (Scheuchzer, John Gaspar,
1702-1729). Published by Gravenhage : P. Gosse en J. Neaulme;
Amsterdam: B. Lakeman. Engelbert Kaempfer, German physician and
naturalist, known for his tour of Persia, Indonesia, and Japan between
1683 and 1693, German physician and traveller, Engelbert Kaempfer
(1651-1716) spent ten years, 1683-1693, traveling through Persia and
Southeast Asia, including two+ years in Japan, 1690-92. Residing in
Nagasaki where he arrived in September, 1690 and departed in November,
1692. He made two three-month trips to Edo (Tokyo) and had audiences
with Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. His illustrated accounts of his
travels and observations are the most detailed Western descriptions of
17th century Japan, and his trips within Japan were the basis of the
most accurate Western maps of the interior for the next 150 years.
Kaempfer wrote this monumental work in his native language, German. It
was first published in English in a translation from the author's
manuscript in Sir Hans Sloane's collection (The History of Japan,
London, 1727, 2 volumes). Kaempfer's work on Japan was first translated
into English by J.G. Scheuchzer. Johann G. Scheuchzer, was a Swiss
scholar and librarian to Sir Hans Sloane. Some copies of the 1727
publication contained an 1728 appendix entitled "Being Part of an
Authentick Journal of a Voyage to Japan, made by the English in the
year 1673?". This appendix deals with an abortive attempt by the
British to revive trade with Japan.

Geographers of
the seventeenth and early
eighteenth centuries recognized two great divisions of their
discipline. These were ‘General’ or
‘Universal’ geography, which dealt with
‘the whole Earth in general, and explain[ed] its properties
without regard to particular countries’
Thomas Bankes,
Edward Warren Blake, and Alexander Cook's A New Royal Authentic and
Complete System of Universal Geography (hereafter Thomas Bankes's). A
massive folio volume of 990 double-columned pages, this was a popular
work, running to six editions in the years from 1775 to 1797
Thomas Bankes:
18th century collector of maps and engravings and
vicar of Dixton, Monmouthshire, whose New and Authentic System of
Universal Geography (London, C. Cooke, ca. 1788-90) compiled views
from various countries, including some detailing the voyages of
Captain James Cook.
Books were also
later reprinted by the Same printer Alexander Hogg for various other
journals as copywrite did not really exist at this time so many images
can have various forms but within a very narrow time frame making exact
attribution difficult
***Many
are images recut from the
Dutch traveller Johan Nieuhof's 'Die Gesantschaft
der
Ost-Indischen Geselshaft'..., published in Amsterdam, 1669.
Nieuhoff (1618 - 1672) traveled with a Dutch
ambassadorial mission to Peking and recorded many of the
towns, life and nature of Chinese culture which were
published in this account. ie the image is from an earlier
date than the publication date***
