This is a scarce and unusual hand colored map is an projection of  to thirds of the earth centered on the pacific ocean and the polar Antarctic regions. Dates roughly to 1860. Antarctica itself is indication but not shown as it had yet to be fully defined as a landmass. Printed in a highly unorthodox circular style and divided into four linen mounted sheets.  Prepared by Colonel Sir Henry James.  A rare and peculiar piece.
