An uncommon color map of the Antarctic region. Published by the Hachette firm, circa 1890.  Reflects a relatively primitive state of exploration in the region though a number of exploratory routes mapped out.  A key in the upper left quadrant lists the explorers who explored the Antarctic: Cook, Weddell, Dumont-d’Urville, Wilkes, Ross, and Nares.  Countries and territories labeled, along with rivers and other minimal topographical detail.  Published from Hachette &amp; Company’s 79 Boulevard Saint Germain office in Paris, France.
