Catalogue Note
The second item is a seemingly unique assemblage presumably commissioned for a particular buyer; the twenty-sheet wall-map was multi-functional, in that the publishers could, by design, make up different, smaller maps, from the sheets, as here. The lower border of the map is squared-off with paste-over borders.
