This highly detailed map by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, or SDUK, depicts the Pacific Ocean. Island groups and coastlines are extensively labeled, while the interiors are relatively unmapped. Some Pacific islands are labeled with question marks, indicating uncertainty of their existence. The map is in excellent condition.
The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge was formed in 1826 and published low cost maps with the goal of reaching a large market, while still maintaining high quality and precision.
