Stanford`s Western Hemisphere Map (1877) – Original Size Wall Map, Paper

The Stanford’™s Map of The Western Hemisphere is from a fascinating series of reproductions from our Edward Stanford Cartographic Collection archive.The original map from 1877 was drawn by 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”. On this stereographic projection, individual countries are presented in gentle pastel hues typical of hand-coloured maps, with their borders outlined in stronger colours. The publication date of 1877 gives us the Americas more or less as we know it now but Antarctica with only a handful of coastal places named and believed to be flat.Hachures are used to show the mountain ranges and many other features of contemporary cartography are included: ocean currents and trade winds, surrounding frames showing the tropical zones and the position of the sun, etc. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 10ยฐ intervals. Additional panels on this map of the Western Hemisphere give examples of six different map projections, including Mercator’™s projection and the gores of a globe complete on the same scale at the equator.This is the full size original version on paper. Dimensions: 132.6 x 155.8cm (hor x ver).PLEASE NOTE: the Eastern hemisphere is available separately as is a landscape format reproduction that combines the two maps together.
