This is a fine example of G.F. Cruchley's 1850 map of the World. An interesting map issued just as most of the Earth's non-polar shores had been explored. Cruchley depicts the world showing the six known continents as well as traces of Antarctica. Vast stretches of unmapped territory and speculative cartography fill central Africa and Australia. In Africa, Lake Nyasa (or something like it) is shown speculatively, but not labeled. Neither Mt. Kenya nor Mt. An unusual c. 1724 map showing English dominions in the New World, Europe, and Africa. This map was published for Paul Rapin de Thoyras's L'Histoire d'Angleterre . Covering from the Polar Circle to the Equator and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mediterranean, this map reveals English claims as of and up to 1724 - early in Britain's most active period of aggressive global expansion. These include various named colonies in the New World as they existed prior to the French and Indian War. A large 1846 blueback nautical chart or maritime map of the world by Robert Blachford. Centered on a large and prominent Africa, this map covers most of the world excluding the Arctic climes from roughly the Orkney Islands to the Falkland Islands and from Yucatan (Mexico) to Borneo and Western Australia. Blachford intended this map for marking the route of a ship along the more common maritime routes - to the Americas and around Africa to India and the East Indies. This important and extraordinary production is Commodore Wilkes's 1840 U.S. exploring expedition map of the World. Presented on a Mercator Projection, this chart covers the globe from the high arctic to the Antarctic Coast. The map is color coded to represent isothermal lines, with variances in shading representing 5 degrees of temperature difference. In addition, Wilkes also shows currents and winds. Wilkes intended this map to present a general overview of the accomplishments of the U.S. This is a beautiful set of two maps of the World on hemispherical projections from Sidney Hall's extremely scarce 1835 New General Atlas . They depict the Western and Eastern Hemispheres offering a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery. Both maps note towns, rivers, mountains, deserts, islands, and various other important topographical details. A striking and impressive 1752 map of the world by Gilles Robert de Vaugondy. The map depicts the entire world embraced in two hemispherical projections separated by the Vaugondy firm's distinctive bold cartouche work. This map is a curious work following somewhat on Sanson in that it attempts to express the New World (Americas) within the context of Hellenic tradition. A beautiful and impressive map of the world drawn by Jean Janvier in 1782. Depicts the entire world on a double hemisphere projection. North America appears with a fair approximation of accuracy though the western and northwestern regions remain either blank or speculative. Alaska is entirely absent, but the Aleutian archipelago does appear in an embryonic form according to earlier Russian explorations. This is a beautiful example of Rand McNally and Company's 1892 map of the North Pole, Arctic, or Northern Polar Regions. It covers from ezo (Yesso or Hokkaido), Philadelphia, and Portugal north to the Pole. This map offers an excellent overview of the state of Arctic exploration and discovery to about 1892. This is a beautiful example of Rand McNally and Company's 1892 map of the World on Mercator's projection. Depicts the entire world centered on North and South America and offers a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery. The Antarctic exploration was still in its infancy, though parts of the Antarctic coast line are noted to the south of Australia and off the coast of Tierra del Fuego. This is an example of Mitchell's 1839 map of the World in hemispheres. Divided into three separate maps, the first map details the world on an equatorial projection, covering the Western and eastern Hemispheres. The route of the 'U.S. exploring expedition' in the years 1838 � 1842 is noted. The second map features the world on a polar projection featuring the Southern and the Northern Hemispheres. Maps are coded according to continents, countries are named but boundaries are not shown. This is a beautiful example of A. J. Johnson and R. Browning's 1861 map of the World's animal kingdom and the productive industries of various countries. The map is divided into two parts. The upper map shows the geographical distribution and range of the principal members of the animal kingdom, with an inset 'bird map'. The lower map illustrates the productive industries of various countries establishing the principle features of commerce and navigation. This is one of the thematic world map sets from the rare 1864 edition of Johnson and Ward's New Illustrated Atlas . It features three maps within a single border. The first map depicts the geographical distribution and range of the principal members of the animal kingdom, with an inset bird migration map. With a primary focus on mammals, the upper map depicts the general range and distribution of principal animals by continuous or dotted lines. This is one of the thematic world map sets from the rare 1864 edition of Johnson and Ward's New Illustrated Atlas . It features three maps within a single border. The first map depicts the world's meteorological patterns and includes an inset rainfall map. The second map depicts the world's co-tidal lines with notations regarding world table lands and lowlands. This is a beautiful example of Francis McNally's 1866 map of world, featuring the highlands and lowlands of the earth, important volcanoes and the world's isothermal lines. An inset near the bottom features a wind chart. The map is color coded and marks various mountain ranges, peaks, volcanoes, table lands, plains, deserts, and several other topographical details. Continents are named but boundaries of countries are not shown. This map was issued as map no. This is a beautiful example of Francis McNally's 1866 map of the World's oceans and ocean currents. It details the various oceans, continental basins, ocean currents and co-tidal lines of the world. An inset map near the lower margin features a rain pattern chart. The map is color coded according to the continental basins. Continents are named but boundaries of countries are not shown. Various rivers, seas, islands and several other topographical details are noted. This is a fine example of Adam and Charles Black's 1851 map or chart of the World's isothermal lines showing the mean annual temperatures in the different parts of the earth's surface. The continents are named while countries are unmarked. The Arctic regions include the voyages and discoveries of several explorers including Hudson in 1607, Phipps in 1773, Tschitsagoff in 1760, Buchan & Franklin in 1819 and Parry in 1827. This is a fine example of Adam and Charles Black's 1851 map of the world on Mercator's Projection. An interesting map of the world issued just as most of the earth's non-polar shore has been explored. Vast stretches of unmapped territory and speculative cartography fill central Africa and Australia. In Africa, Lake Nyasa is shown only speculatively. Neither Mt. Kenya nor Mt. Kilimanjaro are shown though the apocryphal Mountains of the Moon stretch across the continent. This is a fine example of Adam and Charles Black's 1851 map of the World in two hemispheres. Both the Western and eastern Hemispheres are drawn and offer a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery. Africa and Australia are largely unmapped in the interiors with coastlines accurately rendered. The coast of Antarctica is drawn in sketchily, based upon early expeditions. This is a beautiful example of Alexandre Delamarche's 1850 map of the ancient world, including Asia, europe and Africa. The map shows the world of antiquity from the Atlantic Ocean to Burma in Asia and from the Indian Ocean to the North Sea. It includes all of europe, Arabia, parts of Asia including the Indian Subcontinent, and the northern part of Africa. This is a fine example of Conrad Malte-Brun's 1843 map of the World on Mercator's Projection. An interesting map of the world issued just as most of the earth's non-polar shore has been explored. Gone are many of the errors of the previous century with the coastlines of the Arctic, the American Northwest, Australia, and New Zealand accurately rendered. Inland though, much remained confused.
