中文: 新版《時局圖》, 可能繪於1900年至1904年之間。作者謝纘泰用以表達19世紀末當時西方列強勢力佔侵中國地區的概況。 
English: Newer version of THE SITUATION IN THE FAR EAST (時局圖). Its author (Tse Tsan-tai, 1872-1939) depicted the western powers encroaching on China at the end of the nineteenth century in symbolic form. At the left "to be clear at a glance" (一目了然), at the right, "self-evident" (不言而喻). The bear representing Russia is intruding from the north, the bulldog head with a lion body representing the United Kingdom is in south China, with its tail around the Shantung peninsula (Wehai english colony was the seat of the British bulldog in the first version of the cartoon), the Gallic frog, is in southeast Asia, with an inscription "Fashoda", in reference to Fashoda Incident opposing Britain and France in Africa. The frog has the Hainan Island in its right hand, in reference to Guangzhouwan, and part of the Sichuan in its left hand. The bald eagle representing the United States is approaching from the Philippines (the U.S. had already invaded the Philippines at this time). On the eagle is written "Blood is thicker than water", a reference to U.S. Navy Commodore Josiah Tattnall's saying in 1859. The symbolic Sun behind Japan spreads its rays across Korea onto China, while Japan fishes for Taiwan. Qing Amban is on Tibet and chinese teacher on Mongolia and Xinjiang with turco-mongol man. Some other European countries, following Prussia, are waiting to invade China at the bottom of the map. 
Français : Nouvelle édition de « Carte de la situation politique » (時局圖), avec sur le coté gauche, « qu'on saisit à première vue » (一目了然) et à droite, « Cela va sans dire » (不言而喻). L'auteur (Tse Tsan-tai, 1872-1939) l'utilise pour exprimer l'invasion des puissances occidentale à la fin du XIXe siècle. L'ours représente la Russie au Nord, Le bulldog britannique (dessiné avec un corps de lion dont la queue entoure la Péninsule du Shandong, où se situait la colonie Britannique de Weihai), le Royaume-Uni au Sud-Est, la grenouille (vision britannique de la France), avec l'inscription Fashoda (en référence à la Crise de Fachoda, fashoda incident en anglais, opposant Britanniques et Français en Afrique), au Sud, venant d'Indochine (alors colonie française). La grenouille tient de la main droite l'île de Hainan, en référence à la possession de Kouang-Tchéou-Wan et la main gauche sur une partie du Sichuan. La Pygargue représente les États-Unis au dessus des Philippines qu'ils avaient à cette époque envahi. Le soleil du Japon caché sous derrière le pays envoie quelques rayons vers un fumeur d'opium chinois, allongé au milieu de la carte, tout en tenant d'un lasso Taïwan. Un Amban des Qing est au Tibet et un enseignant chinois, est sur la zone des turco-mongols (appelés Tartares par les européens) de Mongolie et du Xinjiang. Quelques autre pays font la queue pour envahir la Chine (en dessous de la carte) ; Prusse, suivie par d'autres pays européens, Empire austro-hongrois, Italie, Suisse...

One of the greatest things about Hanoi is its food, everybody knows that. But if you’re like me, someone adventurous with a not-so-adventurous stomach this is definitely the guide you need, to safely try a bit of this city’s delicious food!

I drew this map for TDAT x Stroly Mapping Special Places contest in November 2019. This place is special to me because it is the birthplace and home to a woman who means the world to me, my mother. Despite being born and raised in this town, I've never really got myself familiar with it. Probably because of the many years being out of town for studies. Listing out the places of interest was quite challenging and I think that is normal for a lot of us when it comes to extracting such information from one's hometown; how ironic. Sure, you frequent its traffic, you rush through that one hidden gem on daily basis, you may know every turn and corner like the back of your hand but to get that sense of 'this town is touristy enough', that may need some work. My secret is to turn to TripAdvisor. That way, I get to learn to see it from a different perspective. That's how I see the hidden gems - that's how I realise there's a lot to re-learn about this little town we call home. So here is a little introduction to Klang from my side.

Klang, Malaysia

This place is special to me because it was one of the most interesting places I visited during my 2017 solo trip in Japan. Naoshima definitely lives up to its name "Japan's Art Island" - where contemporary art meets architecture meets nature. The two GIANT pumpkin sculptures by one of the most acclaimed Japanese artists, Yayoi Kusama, were massive and became the symbol of the island. James Turrell’s work at Chichu museum and Minamidera blew. my. mind. The garden that built just like Monet's paintings was so beautiful. It felt like I stepped into his artwork! I also loved the beauty of simplicity and the creative use of natural light in Tadao Ando’s architecture. And of course - the delicious food and friendly people there. Spend a day on Naoshima next time you are in Japan. You won’t regret it!

I visited Chiang Mai Thailand last December and I just instantly fall in love with this beautiful and relaxing city. I love the mountains, the trees, elephants, food and shopping! I use yellow as my main colour as the colour of yellow reminded me my favourite noodle soup from Chiang Mai: Khao soui (Curry noodle soup). I love illustrate map because it bring back the happy and beautiful memories if the subject is the country or city I've visited before or give me hope and expectation if the subject is the country I've never visited before.

Jeju Island is a beautiful island filled with history, nature and pop culture to the south of South Korea.  Small but dense enough in things to experience that there is something to do no matter the time frame.  Partake in the island's unique citrus fruit and decadent black pork, hike along it's many Olle trails or visit the Unesco site "Sunrise Peak", or visit one of its many unique museums, dedicated to a number of interesting subjects. Jeju island is rich in history and brimming with adventure!

This is the English edition of the Polish Atlas Swiata. This massive atlas (weighing nearly 5.5 kilograms and containing 48 square meters of maps) is of high cartographic and aesthetic quality, and provides a rich assortment of thematic (over 400) as well as hundreds of physical and political maps. Includes pictures of the flag and a synopsis for each country. Liberal yet tasteful and effective use of tinted colors, especially for topography and bathymetry. Rich use of symbolism creatively conveys the data in a clear manner. Many maps of urban areas. Printed on beige paper. Printed in Warsaw, Poland. Book No. 08 001958 7. Post and screw binding coupled with frequent use of fold-out maps eliminates any problem with the gutter.
