EASTERN HEMISPHERE

A hemispheric style map of the Eastern Hemisphere. Hand-coloured lines delineate continental and national borders. Engraved vignettes of scenes depicting wildlife, and scenes of ordinary life of locals, each bordered by an elaborate and intertwining pattern that frames the map proper. The mail route is coloured in blue.No scale bar is present, and Greenwich is used for the prime meridian; the scale was calculated using the map's graticule and the coordinates were obtained via georeferencing
