en: 1812 map of China (eighteen provinces) by Arrowsmith and Lewis, printed in Boston by Thomas & Andrews
Although it is from 1812, this map is not an accurate representation of China proper (eighteen provinces) in 1812.
Jiangnan, Huguang, and Shanxi were broken apart in the 17th century into Jiangsu & Anhui, Hubei & Hunan, and Shanxi & Gansu. This is not reflected on the map, which is thus about 150 years out of date.
Hainan and Taiwan are shown as provinces (presumably, as they are coloured differently). In reality, Taiwan was made a province in 1885, more than 70 years after this map was created, while Hainan was made a province in 1988, more than 170 years after.
