The Kingdom of China

The Kingdom of China, published by John Seller in London in 1679, encompasses not only China—with an illustration of the Great Wall—but also "Corea," the Philippines, and a significant portion of Southeast Asia. This 17th-century geographical documentation illustrates a profound understanding of the East Asian region, reflective of the growing Western interest in these territories.
