Fascinating Lakes & Islands comparison, 1886

Item Details

Description

Title: Fascinating Lakes & Islands comparison, 1886

Description: Highly unusual and visually pleasing comparative map of the world’s lakes and islands. This pictorial map came from the very scarce Colton’s General Atlas of 1890, likely the last atlas the Colton family produced (Phillips lists 1888 as the last date). Not included in many of their earlier editions, this beautiful vintage document is not only perfect as a wonderful piece of wall art, it also shows surprising size relationships between various bodies of water and plots of land. Who would have guessed, for instance, that the Great Lakes are slightly larger than the United Kingdom. Beautiful condition with no faults and generous margins all around. An exceedingly lovely and desirable collectible. 12.75 x 16
