Philips' Mercantile Map of The World showing the Chief Trade Routes And The Dependencies Of The Various Powers...
A large, canvas backed folding wall map for the world when empires reigned. From a notable British publisher of the time, it is colored to show the many empires and their possessions. Over twenty insets show key ports as well as regions. Several charts at the bottom include "Comparative Table of the Empires of the World", "Principal Countries of the World", "Railway Mileage" among others. Captures the British Empire as it was flexing its muscle, but in the decades following would change radically.
