General Description
This large map of the Eastern
Hemisphere was engraved in 1815 - the date is
engraved at the foot of the map - and published by John Thomson in his 1817
edition of A New General Atlas of the World. As with all Thomson's maps
this is beautifully engraved with superb detail and original hand color, a fine
map. (Tooley 1979)
