Chart of the World on Mercators Projection’

This hand colored map was made by Alexander Keith Johnston for “The National Atlas of Historical, Commercial, and Political Geography”. This very rare lithographed edition was printed in Edinburgh in 1849. The world according to Mercator’s Projection is illustrated on this map. The boarders of regions are distinguished by dark color and countries are pastel yellow on this mostly black and white map. Other details include the names of regions and important cities, and illustrations of mountains, lakes, rivers, and major roads.
