The Western Hemisphere in the third quarter of the 19th century on a cloth-backed reproduction of a map drawn by the Stanford’™s Geographical Establishment and ‘œpublished under the direction of the Committee of General Literature and Education Appointed by The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and of the National Society”.Individual countries are presented in gentle pastel hues typical of hand-coloured maps, with their borders outlined in stronger colours.

Additional panels on this map of the Western Hemisphere give examples of six different map projections.
