This copy is a series of outline color unbound loose maps published in separate paper folders (several of which are included) over several years, placed in hard cover slip case. Some maps on multiple sheets. Maps showing political and administrative boundaries, cities, roads, railroads, canals, rivers, lakes, and mountains. Also showing European possessions and exploration routes. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights. Depths showing by soundings. Prime meridians: Greenwich, Ferro and Paris.

All scans made at 800ppi because the loose maps could be scanned though the sheet scanner at higher resolution than the overhead camera scanner for bound atlases.
