DescriptionMap of the world, divided into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The continents are shown in different colors, and countries are labeled and divided with broken solid and dotted lines. In between the hemispheres at the bottom of the sheet are two views of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres from the poles. In the corners of the sheet are representations of four peoples: European, represented by Napoleon, "Asiatic," represented by a Chinese man in traditional dress, African, represented by a West African man in a skirt cradling an elephant tusk, and American, represented by Chief Osceola in traditional dress. The cartouche shows three figures with a globe. At the bottom of the sheet are two lists of symbols that appear on Olney's Outline Maps denoting the religions, governments and "states of society" ("savage," "half civilized," "civilized," and "enlightened") of various regions, although this map does not contain any of them.
