Description

This is a mounted, hand-coloured steel engraving of a COMPARATIVE VIEW OF THE PRINCIPAL WATERFALLS, ISLANDS, LAKES, RIVERS AND MOUNTAINS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE drawn and engraved by John Rapkin for "The Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World" published by Tallis & Co in 1851.

Its original outline hand-colouring has been augmented with later hand-colouring of the waterfalls, mountains and border by a specialist, which has enhanced the decorative appeal of this attractive map.

In good condition apart from some minor edge tears, and from the preferred edition without the central fold, it is printed on heavy grade paper, blank verso and unfolded.

Mounted within a cream mount card and protected in cellophane, it is ready for framing or for giving as a gift.

Dimensions: Mount 49 x 37.5 cm
Image (mount window) 34.5 x 24.5 cm
