Elaborate map showing shipping routes, etc. This wonderful map went through many editions into the 1880's (see our 1882 copy). The confederate states are shown as subtly separate from the rest of the U.S. and a large Montana territory occupies Idaho and Montana, with Idaho in Wyoming! Ocean currents are shown, relief is conveyed in great detail, and thematic inset maps abound. This issue is engraved. Apparently, later issues were lithographed (Hudson). Advertisements for Edward Stanford's maps and atlases appear on the verso, indicating that he distributed the English language version of the map. In full color, dissected into 40 sections mounted on linen. Folds into a new green cloth folding case 24x16 with "Chart Of The World Justus Perthes 1863" stamped in gold on the spine.
