Comments : This is a 1932 map of Shanghai China made after the close of the Sino-Japanese incident in the winter of 1931-1932. Printed in the 12th year of Hirohito's reign, it depicts downtown Shanghai including the Chinese municipality, the French Concession, the International Settlement etc. Important buildings along the Bund are carefully noted, including the first HSBC Bank, the British Club, the Peace Hotel & the Customs House. There is also a panoramic photo of the Bund along the bottom of the map. There are two small inset maps of Nanking and Central China also on the map. Most of the text is written in both Japanese and English.
