Condición: good. Gray's New Map of World Hemispheres, With Comparative Views of the Heights of the Principal Mountains and Lengths of the Principal Rivers on the Globe By Frank. A. Gray.(Old Maps, 19th Century Maps, World Maps, Mountains Ranges, World Rivers, Time Zones). Issued Philadelphia, 1879 by Frank & O. W. Gray. Lovely decorative and uncommon mid/ late 19th century antique lithographed map, with original hand color. Features include a prominent colorful time diagram of world cities in relation to Washington, D. C. at top cneter cusp; color comparison diagram charts of each hemisphere's principal rivers (top corners) and mountains (bottom corners); and a comparison cross section of the U. S.'s principal mountains along bottom, all named with their heights in feet. Minor light toning and small scattered age spotting as typical for maps of this vintage, but to our eyes and likely for most people, an entirely acceptable and nice looking example of this antique map.
