| Abstract | Qing China undertook one of the largest cartographic projects of the early modern world at the beginning of the eighteenth century, resulting in the printing of an impressive set of atlases known as the Overview maps of imperial territories or Huangyu quanlan tu 皇輿全覽圖. In the build-up towards this unprecedented project, the court in Beijing established a new practice of land surveying that combined inherited practices with new observational and geometrical techniques. These new techniques were provided by some of the European missionaries present at the Beijing court, most of whom were French Jesuits sent to China in 1685 by Louis XIV and sponsored by his Académie des sciences. This essay traces the circulation of land surveying instruments and techniques from Paris to Beijing, their reconfiguration and transformation in Asia, and the creation of new practices of land surveying at the Qing court. |
