摹利瑪竇 (1552-1610)《坤輿萬國全圖》
日本 江戶時期 [十七世紀末/十八世紀初]

此件早期手繪地圖依照利瑪竇和明朝官員李之藻 (1571-1630) 於1602年所繪並呈予明神宗的《坤輿萬國全圖》而製，這是第一張融匯了中西地圖學知識的世界地圖，借鑒了亞伯拉罕 · 奧特柳斯 (Abraham Ortelius, 1527-1598) 所繪製的《世界地圖》，但將中國挪至畫幅中心。日本江戶幕府於1639至1853年間針對天主教施行鎖國令，《坤輿萬國全圖》雖為傳教士手筆，卻僥幸得以傳入日本，并對日本地圖學產生深遠影響。此件手繪地圖保留了利瑪竇版地圖的地貌細節及文字題跋，並加日文片假名作注，裱於十七世紀日本原裝屏風上，是一件不可多得、高度還原原作的大尺幅早期摹繪地圖，近似的一例僅見藏於日本東北大學附屬圖書館。

Please note that this lot is subject to an import tariff. The amount of the import tariff due is a percentage of the final hammer price plus buyer's premium. The buyer should contact Post Sale Services prior to the sale to determine the estimated amount of the import tariff. If the buyer instructs Christie's to arrange shipping of the lot to a foreign address the buyer will not be required to pay the import tariff, but the shipment may be delayed while awaiting approval to export from the local government. If the buyer instructs Christie's to arrange shipping of the lot to a domestic address, if the buyer collects the property in person, or if the buyer arranges their own shipping (whether domestically or internationally), the buyer will be required to pay the import tariff. For the purpose of calculating sales tax, if applicable, the import tariff will be added to the final hammer price plus buyer's premium and sales tax will be collected as per The Buyer's Premium and Taxes section of the Conditions of Sale.
