Detailed double map by G. H. Swanston, with insert maps of Mauritius, Cape Colony, and Delta of the Niger published by Archibald Fullarton with his 'Royal Illustrated Atlas,' Edinburgh circa 1874. Map shows the extent of European discoveries and geographical knowledge in the middle of the 19th century.
Fullarton's 'Royal Illustrated Atlas,' the last highly decorative atlas published in England. Even the maps without views or figures are beautifully engraved and colored with a mixture of printed color and hand color. Swanston, Petermann, Bartholomew, Macnab and Johnson engraved the maps. The maps bear a superficial resemblance to Keith Johnston's Royal Atlas. Fullarton frequently gives the sources for his maps - for the United States maps he gives Calvin Smith and Tanner as sources. 52 cm. x 41 cm. [Gift of Dr. Jack Franke]
