A colorful map of the world on a Mercator Projection demonstrating climate regions, produced by Alexander Voeikov and published in 1874 in Petermann's Geographische Mitteheilungen . A Closer Look Adopting a Mercator Projection, the map displays…the world with color shading used to indicate climate zones, such as tropical, subtropical, desert areas, and so on. A red dashed line further divides Europe into regions depending on seasonal rains (summer rain versus autumn rain). Black horizontal and vertical lines denote areas where annual rainfall exceeds 1200 millimeters, mostly around the Equator. The geography of the Arctic and Antarctic remain incomplete, but with partial coasts based on the latest discoveries. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by Alexander Ivanovich Voeikov (here as Wojeikow), a prominent Russian meteorologist, to accompany an article on isobars. It was printed by Carl Hellfarth and published by Justus Perthes as a part of an 1874 supplementary issue (Ergänzungshefte) to Petermann's Geographische Mitteheilungen . It is independently cataloged among the holdings of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, while the Bibliothèque nationale de France catalogs the entire article, including this map.
