"Oceanie", Garnier, Francis Marie Joseph

This striking map centers on Oceania but extends to include China, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, a number of Pacific islands, Hawaii, and a stretch of the western coast of North America. A key at bottom left identifies English, Spanish, French, Dutch, and Portuguese possessions as well as independent Malaysian states. There is a decorative title cartouche at bottom right. The map is surrounded by a keyboard-style border. Printed in Paris by Sarazin.

Garnier's Atlas Spheroidal & Universel de Geographie is quite rare and sought-after for its elegant hand coloring, precise engraving, and decorative maps.
