Description:
Chicago: Rand McNally & Co.. Generally good with full printed color. A small (2 inch by 1inch) section of southern Australia is missing. There is some browning. This is an ENORMOUS folding wall map, bound into a cloth 8vo binder (some rubbing, but overall sound) There are few pencil marks on the map, but none is a serious visual distraction (this item is too large for me to send a digital image). The map is linen backed, consisting of 28 separate panels each mounted individually. The precise date (early to mid 20th century) is not shown, but Thailand is Siam and Sri Lank is Ceylon on this map. There are large metal rings to hang the map. The entire image measures about 38x58 inches. This is an impressive world map. .
