English Map, in 2 Sheets by Chapman & Hall: The Ancient World

The known world, split down the middle somewhere around Persia.

The Ancient World is a map in 2 sheets, a hand colored engraving on paper published by Chapman & Hall in London, England, United Kingdom, and dated 1842. Nineteenth century atlases often included maps of the world as classical writers knew it. The left sheet runs from the British Isles and Europe across the Mediterranean and North Africa. The right sheet carries on through Central Asia to India, with coastlines and borders picked out in green, red and yellow. Fine graticule lines curve across both, and the paper has toned to a warm cream. Together they are 27 inches wide and 16.25 high.

Everything past the edges was presumably still under discussion.
