  <description xmlns="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">"John Wilkes was a London publisher best known for his Encyclopaedia Londinensis; or, universal dictionary of arts, sciences, and literature (1801-28). Wilkes frequently worked with Samuel John Neele, the engraver of this hand-colored map of "modern Asia." The map reflects late 18th-century European geographic conceptions and terminology. India is referred to as "Hindoostan," while much of the interior is shown as comprised of "Western Tartary" and "Chinese Tartary." "Tartary" was a designation applied by Europeans to those parts of Asia inhabited by nomadic Turkic and Mongol peoples. This map shows Tartary as stretching from the Caspian Sea to the Pacific Ocean."</description>
