Overall Size including text and borders : 11 1/4 x 13 1/2 ins. CONDITION: Single page Map that also has a full page map on the back. There is a tear on the bottom left hand side that runs into the map for about a couple of inches. As Scanned.This 1888 map depicts the "Islands in the Pacific Ocean" in a detailed, segmented layout. It showcases numerous island groups and archipelagos across the Pacific, including the Marianas, Carolines, Marshall Islands, Gilbert Islands, Solomon Islands, New Guinea, Admiralty Islands, Santa Cruz, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Hawaii (labeled as "Hawaii or Sandwich Is."), and the Galapagos. The map employs a grid system to efficiently present these widely dispersed island chains, with each section labeled and containing intricate details of individual islands, reefs, and geographical features. Notable larger sections include New Guinea and its surrounding islands, while smaller, more remote island groups like Pitcairn Island and Juan Fernandez are given their own dedicated insets. The map's pale green background for ocean areas contrasts with the yellow and pink hues used for land masses, enhancing readability. This comprehensive cartographic representation offers a thorough overview of the Pacific's island geography as understood in the late 19th century, reflecting the era's colonial interests and maritime exploration in the region. .NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU PURCHASE: This is a GENUINE ANTIQUE VINTAGE 1880s MAP. It is NOT a modern reproduction, ie. a laser scan, photocopy, etc. It is the original from the antique or vintage atlas or book publication. This map was published on the date mentioned, or circa the date mentioned at the top of the page. The map I have for sale, like many antique vintage prints and maps that you see online, originate from an antique vintage book or atlas publication. The publication may not always be known. If you have any questions, emails are welcome. Shipped Unmatted.…
