This handsome double hemisphere map presents the world in fine detail including countries, mountains, rivers, seas and oceans. Many islands and island groups appear in the oceans and offshore regions around the world. The map reflects the latest geographic discoveries brought back to Paris by navigators and explorers. The coasts of Australia have now been fully explored and Tasmania, formerly Van Diemen's Land, is now shown separated from Australia by the Bass Strait. New island groups in the Pacific have also been located and named, and a few areas in the Antarctic are beginning to take shape. America's Pacific Northwest coast and Alaska have also been fully explored and charted. Engraved by Lallemand.
