| Summary: | Date estimated. "Detailed map of the Arctic Regions, with notes on the exploration of the region. The map and legend locate the expeditions of 16 explorers including John Ross, James Ross, Parry, Franklin & Richardso, Beechey, Back, Dease & Simpson, Rae, Austin, Penny, Kennedy, Inglefield, McClure and Belcher. Wyld dedicates the map to Lady Franklin, widow of the Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin. The map was apparently issued prior to McClintock's voyage aboard the Fox in 1857-1859, sponsored by Lady Franklin, which finally located evidence of the location of Franklin's death."
