Show moreWorld map from the 1840 General Atlas of the World published by Adam & Charles Black. The map is a good reflection of contemporary cartographic knowledge of the world. At this time the coastlines of the world with the exception of the polar regions had largely been explored. For this reason depiction of the polar regions are absent for the Antarctic and mostly unfinished in the case of the Arctic. The interiors of central Asia, South America, the western United States, Australia, and especially Africa are largely speculative. The continents are outlined in different colors. Later editions of this map in Blacks General Atlas used solid colors to define the continents. This map was engraved by George Aikman who also produced the illustrations for the 7th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica also published by A & C Black. Publisher: Best known for publishing Whos Who and the seventh edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Edinburgh based firm of Adam & Charles Black was founded in 1807 and also published a series of popular travel guides (Blacks Guides) as well as the General Atlas of the World from 1840-1898 for which this map was made. engd. by G.
