This double hemispheric map details the major transportation routes, the track of historical explorers, large cities and limited watershed. Some of the continent of Antarctica is coming into view. Surrounded by the decorative border, hand colored in green, usually seen in Universal Atlas maps. Fancy titling.

Very nice original coloring and full, wide margins. Just a couple of light foxing spots, still very good.
