The World on Mercator's Projection.

This is Finley’s desirable 1827 map of the World. Covers the entire world on a Mercator Projection. Identifies deserts, rivers, many countries, and numerous cities. Color coded according to continent with Australia (New Holland) attached to Asia. Does not show Antarctica, but does identify South Shetland just north of the Arctic Circle. The original owner has added manuscript annotations to the upper and lower margins (extending briefly into the map in upper section). This annotation, in a flowing 19th century script, shows time zones from Washington (upper margin) and from London (lower Margin). Mile scale and title in the upper right quadrant. Engraved by Young and Delleker for the 1827 edition of Anthony Finley's General Atlas.
