THOMAS, Joseph

Northern & Southern Polar Regions

London: Joseph Thomas, 1836.

Map. Original engraving with hand colored outline. London: Joseph Thomas, 1835. Measures 6 1/2" x 10"

This small double-hemisphere map depicts the North and South Poles. Incredibly detailed for its size, the map labels regions, cities, rivers, islands, and bodies of water. Antarctica is not depicted, with the exception of a small stretch of coastline labeled Palmer's Land - named for the Capt. Nathaniel Palmer who explored this part of the Antarctic Peninsula in 1820, just sixteen years before this map was published. This map is in very good condition.

I usually receive my packages as soon as delivered. However, this one had quite a night outside in a snow storm. Thanks to the extra care in packaging and double layer of wrapping cardboard and plastic bag, the book survived in pristine condition.... It sat in a three foot snow drift pounded by snow plows, in minus 25Temps overnight and was discovered this afternoon, the top of the package peeking out of the drift. If not for the attention to packaging and packing materials, this book would have been destroyed. Please let the people who package our treasures know that they make a difference. Whether in person or mail order, you folks rock. Best wishes from the (damned) frozen Adirondacks...
