《1899年中英勘界地图》与公共租界的扩张

The Map of Sino British Boundary Survey in 1899 and the Expansion of Public Concessions

《1899年中英勘界地图》是公共租界扩展时,由工部局总董安徒生、上海县知县王豫照及南洋大臣刘坤一委派的代表福开森、余桢祥共同签署的勘界地图。地图主要内容为公共租界扩展的新租界线、界石竖立地点及虹口老租界线,是反映租界扩展过程的重要文物。以往著述中谓刘坤一的代表为余联沅,显然为误载。余桢祥还参与了1900年法租界扩展时的勘界活动。

The Map of Sino British Boundary Survey in 1899 was jointly signed by Andersen,the general director of the Ministry of Industry,Wang Yuzhao,the magistrate of Shanghai County,and John C.Ferguson and Yu Zhenxiang,the representatives appointed by Liu Kunyi,the minister of Nanyang,when the public concession was expanded.The main contents of the map are the new lease line of the expansion of the public concession,the location of the boundary stone and the old lease line of Hong kou.It is an important cultural relic reflecting the process of concession expansion.In previous works,Yu Lianyuan was the representative of Liu Kunyi,which was obviously misplaced.Yu Zhenxiang also participated in the demarcation activities during the.expansion of French concession in 1900.
