Naumann, the German geologist often described as the father of modern geology in Japan, spent the Meiji period surveying and interpreting the Japanese archipelago. This map links elevations, depressions and magnetic declination, showing Japan as a physical system rather than merely a political territory. The accompanying route sketch records Naumann’s field journeys and belongs to the moment when Japan was being rapidly mapped through Western scientific methods.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52900307206491,"sku":"P-6-111599","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-111599a_558b0954-e576-4e18-8943-838249ee6db2.jpg?v=1777622236","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/japan-showing-lines-of-equal-magnetic-declination-h-edmund-naumann-rgs-1887-map-p-6-111599","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
