Old English world map by John Rapkin in Mercator projection. The black and white map is very detailed (see photos) and you may need a magnifying glass to read it with the naked eye. Several countries have strange shapes, such as Australia.
Dimensions: 27.5 x 37 cm (the map is slightly narrower at the top)
Condition: the map was folded into an antique encyclopedia and therefore has one horizontal and two vertical fold lines. 5 cm tear on the right in the margin. This has been repaired on the back and is therefore barely visible. Some age spots. In reasonable / good overall condition.
Origin: THE ROYAL DICTIONARY-CYCLOPAEDIA - Thomas Wright - circa 1860
