Note:
Two maps both sides of the sheet. This side has wonderful pictures, maps of the other continents, two large hemispheres, texts and charts. Murray was a small publisher who undoubtedly got his maps from others - in this case, Tunison. The western states on this wall map are from the same plates (although slightly reduced) as the same maps in Tunison's Peerless Universal Atlas of 1885. The eastern states are from a different source than the Tunison atlas, but still probably from another larger scale Tunison wall map of the eastern U.S. This is a very colorful production, dense with county, railroad, and topographical information. It is similar and perhaps derived from the Watson map of the same year (see our #4793). Full color by county. Includes chrnological and statistical tables. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington, D.C.
