World map on the plane of a meridian | 1910) | Ancient world map

"The World, on the Plane of a Meridian" is a historical world map from 1910, depicted in two large meridian hemispheres along with four smaller inset maps at the bottom. The left hemisphere shows North and South America as well as the Pacific, while the right displays Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, color-coded according to the colonial possessions and political boundaries of the time—the British Empire in pink, Russia in yellow, and German and French territories in their own distinct shades. The four smaller circles at the bottom additionally show the world on the plane of the equator as well as on the horizon plane of London, each divided into northern and southern hemispheres. Published by George Philip & Son, Ltd., the map combines cartographic precision with the decorative style of Edwardian atlases and is perfectly suited as a reproduction for enthusiasts of historical cartography, as vintage-style wall decor, or as a gift for those interested in geography and history.
