Extensive tables of population, size of countries, chief productions, important towns and cities, values of imports and exports, national debt, number of naval vessels and distances surround the map of the world. Classic example of Victorian obsession with maps and statistics showing the growth of western cultural dominance over the world. Full color. Dissected into 28 sections and folded into brown cloth covered boards 39x25 with "Walker's World With Statistical & Distance Tables." stamped in gold on the cover. See note field above
