(World - Historical) Sixteenth Period A.D. 1498 The Discovery Of America, Edward Quin, 1846 It's an interesting and intuitive approach to showing areas understood and those yet to be unveiled, at least to European geographers. This is the world, just post Columbus, now exposing most of the Caribbean, the northern shore of South America, a good portion of the east coast of North America, and most of Greenland. Hand colored to show the European power that explored the region, most of the eastern hemisphere is outlined, save for Australia, the East Indies and the poles. Bold original hand color, condition is very good. Overall size is approximately 24.25 x 39 (inches)
