Very crisp impression of this lovely map of the continent. The map is surrounded by steel engraved vignettes depicting costumes of the various peoples of Asia, Adam and Eve, and several exotic animals. One of the last maps produced in the decorative style. Uncolored engravings surround the pastel colored map.
