The maps (by d'Anville), were based on Jesuit surveys." (Lust, note to the first edition, Paris, 1735). "Der Hauptzweck dieser Kompilation war sicherlich, die von den Jesuiten erworbene Chinakenntnis breiteren Teilen der europäischen Bevölkerung zugänglich zu machen, mit dem speziellen Ziel allerdings, die Augen der Franzosen auf die Leistungen und Aufgaben der französischen Chinamission zu richten und entsprechende Unterstützung anzuregen. Dies geschah zu einem Zeitpunkt, als der Ritenstreit drohte, das idealisierte Chinabild der Missionare zu verdunkeln und Zweifel an Sinn und Methode des Missionswerkes zu wecken."

The "Paolinxi Pagode" plate, mentioned in the binder's instructions, was actually only inserted in the Latin edition of 1668 and here as always only present as text illustration.

Walravens, China illustrata, no. 63/64 (later German editions): "Nieuhofs Chinawerk ist bis heute eines der bedeutendsten und gesuchtesten. Allein die 150 Abbildungen und Karten, die das Buch zieren und die nach Zeichnungen des Autors aufgeführt wurden, haben beachtlichen Wert. Bis weit in das 18.Jahrhundert hinein wurden sie immer wieder nachgedruckt und nachgeschnitten und prägten weitgehend das Chinabild der Zeit". The double-p. plates mainly depicting panoramic city views. "Was aber seinem Buch den höchsten Wert verleiht ist die Fülle prachtvollster Kupfertafeln von Städten, Landschaften, Volkstypen" (Henze III, p.612).
