English Map

Two hemispheres, one world, and only the lines of an engraver.

This map, printed in ink on paper in England, United Kingdom, in the 19th century, shows the world in two circular hemispheres. The Americas appear on the left and Europe, Africa and Asia on the right, with the title in a banner above. Fine engraved lines mark rivers, coasts and latitude. The sheet is pale cream, with fold lines visible across the center.

About 8 by 15 inches. Small enough for a hallway, large enough for a daydream. Turn it slightly and the oceans do the rest.
