Oceania and Malaysia.

(Old Maps, 20th Century Maps, Oceania, Indonesia, Malaysia, Borneo, Celebes, Java, Sumatra, New Caledonia, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia).

Issued 1905, Chicago by Rand McNally.

Large, oversized early 20th century color lithographed map. Not to be confused with the much more common smaller maps by this same maker, this one from the much more expensive and scarcer monumental Business Atlas. This size allows for much more detail.

Insets of New Caledonia and Loyalty Islands, Hawaii (Sandwich Islands) and Eastern Portion of Polynesia

Well preserved, nice looking example with pleasing age patina. Short edge tear nicely closed on reverse with archival tape and now almost invisible when viewing map.

Original center fold as issued. Short 1" cleanly closed tear at bottom edge.

Sheet Measures c. 20 1/2" x 28".

Printed Area Measures c. 19" x 27 1/2".
