Artist/engraver/cartographer: Engraved by Edwd. Weller. Provenance: "Cassell's Complete Atlas", Published by Cassell, Petter and Galpin, London. Type: Antique map with original outline colour. The map shows the Island of Sakhalin (Saghalien) divided between Russia and Japan, and Outer Manchuria with the 1858 borders between China and Russia, mid way through the Amur (Amoor) Acquisition. In 1855, Russia and Japan had signed the Treaty of Shimoda, which agreed that nationals of both countries could inhabit Sakhalin: Russians in the north, and Japanese in the south, without a clear boundary between them, as reflected on the map. The southern part of Sakhalin was held by Japan until the 1875 Treaty of Saint Petersburg, when they ceded it to Russia in exchange for the Kuril Islands. The map shows the then "new" border between Russia and China. Following the Opium War, Russia forced China to sign the Treaty of Aigun (1858), as reflected on the map. The effect of the later Convention of Peking (1860) is not reflected on the map. Under this treaty, China ceded to Russia all claims to all territories north of Heilongjiang (Amur River) and east of the Ussuri river, including Vladivostok.
