Uncommon 19th century color lithographed religious thematic map showing Catholic missionary activity late in the 19th century. Very detailed key below the title.

Overall very fresh and clean, paper uniformly well age toned and now tender/ brittle so should be handled carefully (currently protected for handling inside a plastic sleeve).

Basically near fine condition, color printed area appearing nearly as fresh as when first printed 140 years ago.

Original centerfold.
