    Chinese map of the world from 1875
    Chinese map of the world from 1875

    地球五大洲全圖 (Full Map of the Five continents of Earth) was a map created by 鄺其照 Kwong Ki Chiu, a scholar, education ministry official and diplomat.

    Born a year after the first Opium War ended, Kwong was sent to study abroad in the US where he became fluent in English and engage in business activities until he return to China several years later.

    After returning to China, Kwong became a translator for the Chinese government but he understood the importance of international relations, at the time where China was lacking in man fluent in foreign languages so he spent several years compiling a English dictionary, becoming the first Chinese to create a English-Chinese dictionary in 1868, the dictionary would be imported to Japan a year later and be translated into Japanese.

    He's also a promoter of the Study Abroad movement in late Qing China where three of his great nephews would be among the first group of Chinese children to be sent to study in the US.

    In 1886, Kwong started the first newspaper called 廣報 (Guangbao) in Canton (new Guangzhou) which became very influential until it was shut down after exposing an official's scandal which prompted the then Viceroy of Huguang, Li HanZhang to shut the newspaper down, despite this Kwong later started another newspaper called 中西日報 (Zhongxi Ribao) which became a place for Sun Yat Sen and his followers to share his public opinion before his first uprising.

    A Modern and Complete Map of the World by the Royal Mathematician Oronce Fine of the Dauphiné.
    A Modern and Complete Map of the World by the Royal Mathematician Oronce Fine of the Dauphiné.

    An astronomer and mathematician, from 1531 the first chair of mathematics in the Collège Royal (the present-day Collège de France), Oronce Fine (1494--1555) was one of the first French scholars to work with cartography. His world map in the shape of a heart belongs to a group of 18 heart-shaped projection maps published between 1511 and 1566. Inspired by one of the projections described by the second-century geographer, Ptolemy, this projection system was codified by a mathematician in Nuremberg, Johannes Werner (1468--1522), in an opus written in 1514. Fine's map reflects the state of knowledge and the geographic hypotheses and uncertainties of its day. North America is joined with Asia, and a vast Terra Australis, a hypothetical continent that geographers posited had to exist to counterbalance the weight of the northern land masses, is drawn in the south. The map is from the collection of the geographer Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville (1697--1782). It was purchased by King Louis XVI in 1779 and deposited in the National Library of France in 1924. Names

    Finé, Oronce, 1494-1555 Cartographer. Created / Published

    Paris : [publisher not identified], 1534.
