1920 Very Large Map of North America

Description

Have you got a large empty wall? Live in a loft? If so, we've got a very large beautiful map for you.

This map of North America comes from The Victory Atlas of the World, published by "Geographia", 55 Fleet Street, London. The cartographer is Alexander Gross. The year of publication is not indicated, as many early British publishers are quite notorious for not indicating the year of publication. However, studious research (and by that, I mean the Internet) indicates that all other venerable sellers of this map and atlas have indicated 1920 as the year of publication. Because of the sheer size, later editions of this map sell elsewhere for $50-$75.

This 89-year-old map is in very good condition and is blank on the back. It will look gorgeous framed as is or with a mat. The handwritten word "North America" will not appear on your map! The word North America, however, does appear at the top of the map.

If you are looking for a map of a particular country in this size, let me know and I will put it up for you if I still have it.

If there is a particular map you are looking for, let me know and I will put it up on this site and reserve it for you for five days. You are under no obligation to buy it.
