Map world mercator projection exhibiting (2 Ergebnisse)

Folio (23¼" X 15", image area 18" X 14¼"). Hand colored. Very good. Some age toning and minor soiling (mainly about edges). Well-colored world map, from the 1864 edition of "Mitchell's New General Atlas, Containing Maps of the Various Countries of the World, Plans of Cities, Etc."

A centerfold image, thus bears single vertical fold (as issued).…
