Description
Fascinating graphic map presentation showing the principal mountains and rivers in the World, with legends on either side identifying the rivers and mountains, including several active volcanoes. Specifications supplied on the map are what was current knowledge at the time. This vintage document would have been hand-colored at the time of publication in 1855. Even though it has a copyright date of 1850, it comes from the New Universal Atlas published by Thomas, Cowperthwait in 1855. This was a golden time of American map making; art and cartographic skills were highly developed and great care was taken to present maps that were not only as exact as possible, but artistic presentation was a key component of the overall total production. Maps produced even twenty years later don’t have the overall artistic impact that these 1850s maps do. Some staining at top and some toning to middle. Color applied with an exacting touch. This map comes matted. 13 x 16 (18.5 x 21.375 mat).
