"The World", Black, Adam & Charles

This thematic chart shows an impressive number of mountains and volcanoes along the bottom with the rivers shown above. Their height or length is visually represented by their relative size on the chart. Between them is a large double hemispheric world map, plus the polar hemispheres at either side of the rivers are labeled Land Hemisphere and Water Hemisphere. The height of Mt. Everest is only 20 feet different from today's accepted value. Using an early technique, this sheet is "Printed in Colours by Fr. Schenck, Edinburgh."
