(World Maps, Eastern Hemispheres, Western Hemispheres, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Mountains of the World, Rivers of the World).

Issued 1876, Edinburgh by A. & C. Black.

Late 19th Century color lithographed map.

Across the bottom is a vast assortment of named mountains rendered in a comparative manner, River lengths compared at top center between two hemispheric projections.

Well preserved, nice looking example with pleasing age patina. Slight 1" split along centerfold near bottom, a couple of short closed bottom edge tears with small triangular shape which in no way detract, especially if the map were matted and framed (since virtually all of it would disappear under the mat).

Original center fold as issued.

Sheet Measures c. 17 1/2" H x 24 1/2" W.

Engraved Area Measures c. 16 1/2" H x 20 1/2" W.
