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.

  1. 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 This is not reflected on the map, which is thus about 150 years out of date.
  2. 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.

本圖有幾點明顯的錯誤:

  1. 清朝初年時(比此圖早約150年)已將江南、湖廣、陝西三省分為江蘇安徽、湖北湖南、陝西甘肅六省,但此圖並未反映
  2. 本圖給臺灣、海南分開著色,但實際上臺灣於1885年才設為行省,海南建省更是晚在1988年,本圖有“預知未來”的嫌疑

Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.
