Two large circular maps of the hemispheres. The maps show the knowledge of the world’s coastlines at the time- except for the yet-to-be discovered North-West Passage, everything is there. The New General Atlas was one of the most accurate and best produced atlases of the day. John Thomson’s ‘County Atlas of Scotland’ is generally considered the finest of its kind.

Fine condition.The western hemisphere map has a little loss at top left, but well away from the crisp, clean and unblemished map.
