This is A. J. Johnson's fine map of the world on Mercator's Projection. Depicts the entire world centered on North and South America. Offers a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery. Updated from earlier versions to reflect recent discoveries in Africa, including Lake Victoria's first appearance in a Johnson's Atlas, and the ongoing exploration of Antarctica. The Antarctic continent itself is shown only sketchily, representing the relatively primitive state of Antarctic exploration at that point. Shows the path of important explorers including Cook and Wilkes. Also notes several ship routes between America and Europe as well as the path of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable.

Johnson for publication as plates no. 13 and 14 in the 1865 edition of his New Illustrated Atlas… . Dated and copyrighted: "Entered according to Act of Congress in the Year of 1865 by A. J.
