Cloth-backed reproduction from the Old Folding Maps of a political map of the world published by Edward Stanford in 1884 with Pacific Ocean at its centre. Country boundaries, drawn in different colours, present Europe & Africa very different from today, Asia with many changes mainly in the Middle East, but the Americas mostly unchanged. A particularly interesting feature of the map is the difference in the presentation of the two Polar Regions: the Arctic Ocean with most of its coastline already there, whilst the Antarctic is still in the early stages of exploration & only segments of its coast already mapped. Latitude & longitude lines are at 10° intervals; the map is drawn on a Mercator’s projection. Each individual cloth-backed map is sold folded in a colourful case covered with a unique design marbled paper – no two cases are identical.PLEASE NOTE: this title is also available as a paper wall map in two different sizes as part of the “ Stanfords Classics Collection of Historical Maps”. To see the full list of other titles in the series of cloth-backed reproductions from Old Folding Maps please click on the series link. ...
