A rare mid-19th-century hand-colored steel-engraved map titled "Ningpo and its Suburbs",

originally surveyed by LMS missionary William C. Milne during the treaty port's early years. Re-drawn and finely engraved by L.M. Becker using his patented steel engraving process, this map meticulously details the Sanjiangkou river systems, the teardrop-shaped walled city, and early foreign consulates. It stands as a highly collectible and historically significant visual record of early modern Ningpo.
