Engraved by George Cram , 1888. Overall Size including text and borders : 11 3/4 x 13 1/2 ins. Actual Map Size: 11 3/4 x 9 1/8 ins. CONDITION: Single page Map with full double page folded map and single page map on the back. . As Scanned. A map representing the Eastern Hemisphere features several distinctive elements. Geographically, it covers Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, with partial visibility of Antarctica and minimal inclusion of Greenland. The boundaries are detailed, showing countries, major cities, rivers, and mountain ranges. The map uses a circular projection centered roughly on the Prime Meridian, with the North Pole at the top and the equator bounding the circle's edge, offering a partial view of the Southern Hemisphere. Additional features include a graphical representation of the lengths of principal rivers and the heights of major mountains in the Eastern Hemisphere, depicted in a bar graph format. The styling and typefaces suggest a late 19th or early 20th-century origin, likely serving educational or reference purposes in an atlas. Cartographic details include clearly marked latitude and longitude lines and color coding to differentiate empires and nations, providing both geographic and educational overviews of significant physical features.
