Gorgeous world map from one of the last decorative atlases produced in the nineteenth century. It is presented on Mercator's projection and is surrounded by fine steel engravings including vignettes representing the four seasons, allegorical figures of the continents and several mythical figures, Adam and Eve and much else of interest. In North America a very large Oregon Territory appears on the west coast stretching from California into British Columbia. Texas is named but not shown as independent. A striking and handsome chart.
