Produced to illustrate the Russo-Japanese War, this map indicates Treaty Ports, dockyards and naval bases, including the German Kiautschou Bay concession, the British leased territory at Weihaiwei, and Port Arthur, then under Russian control and a major contributory factor to the outbreak of war.
It includes an inset map of southeastern England for scale, and location maps of Asia and a broader area of east Asia than the main map.
