Recherche dans la collection - World at one View. Chapin del., Avery sc. H.D. Tunison, Publisher, Chicago, Ill., ... Can., New York City. [cartographic material]

Illus: Numerous illustrations of various sizes of such features as "times of all nations", "principal varieties of the human race", "comparative height of the chief mountains of the world", "female costumes of the different parts of the world", and various coins of the world.
The map is curiosity in the amount and kind of information displayed. Besides the illustrations listed above there are numerous tables dealing with population, size of countries, great libraries, great cities of the ancient world, celebrated battles. The contemporary value of the information is somewhat suspect as illustrated in listing. Vancouver Island and its capital Fort Langly separate from British Columbia. The Union of the two colonies took place in 1866 while other information is dated 1880 (population of U.S. cities).
