Interesting map of America with high detail and beautiful decorative colouring. The Panama Canal has not yet been built. Colombia is “Nouvelle Grenade” and Alaska is “Amerique Russe”. Much of the Amazon is labeled as “Selvas”, or tropical rainforests, and “Région Inconnue”. From Atlas Spheroidal et Universel de Geographie by M.F.A. Garnier published in Paris at Veuve Jules Renouard in 1862. This atlas is exceptional for its “spheroidal” maps of the globe, showing the various continents and poles, shaded to give the effect of a sphere floating in space. The remaining maps are also very well executed and colored. This is the only atlas that Garnier produced, according to Phillips. (836) [cod.1091/15]
