Historic MapsTunison's "Illustrated Map of the World", With People of the World

c. 1886, "AN ILLUSTRATED MAP OF THE WORLD", by H.C. Tunison, Jacksonville, Illinois, Very Good.
This large, colorful wall map has an extensive depiction of the continents of the world as well as printed illustrations of the different peoples of the world, including the "Africans..., Esquimaux, Hindoos, Chilians, Australians, Indians, English, French...," etc. Also printed are flags of the world, famous scenes and locations from around the world, and detailed information and facts for "Students, Families, and Businessmen." The stunning engraved map has wonderful ranges of handcolored reds, greens, and yellows, produced by American mapmaker Henry Tunison, whose maps are known for their vivid coloration. This large map measures approximately 60" x 60", has printed images on both sides, it is fastened to a rod and rolled up around it, and, although it is colorful and detailed, the map is quite fragile, and has some torn portions, toning, chipping and splits. Sold "as is". As such, Very Rare.
