Map of Shanghai showing part of what was previously the French Concession circa 1948. On paper size 38 by 26 cm. Scale 40 metres to the inch. Some colour. A detailed street map from a trade or business directory that covers an area of the city between Hengshan Road and Zikawei Road, with Wanping and Wuhing Roads running from top to bottom. The map has advertising to the borders and to the reverse with the date 1949 in one, which might indicate the directory was published the previous year: the street names and Chinese characters are still traditional. Includes the Carl Foss residence on the Hengshan Road. Some streets are named in English. Most buildings and other features are shown and are named in Chinese characters. Presumably the map hadn’t been updated for about ten or more years. Has had one central fold. Good condition.
