This elegant double-hemisphere world map was delicately drawn in ink and watercolor by Marie Demeule. The cartography is typical for the late 19th century, with a partial outline of Antarctica and Parry's archipelago identified in the Canadian Arctic. Detail is limited to major rivers, mountains, and key place names. The title is set on a large ribbon scroll above the map. The circa 1879 date is based on another work of Demeule's bearing that date.
