The World by Marcia Rounds, Newport 1833.

This stunning schoolgirl map was hand drawn by Marcia Rounds of Newport Rhode Island in 1833. Covers the entire world on a hemisphere projection. Four smaller globes surrounding the main map describe longitude, latitude, and tropic zones. Presented in wall map format, a rarity for schoolgirl maps, which tend to be smaller. Features wonderful elaborate calligraphy used in naming the continents and seas. Wonderful hand color and whimsical overall presentation. A rare and beautiful example of an unusual map from an unusual genre.
