Item description from seller

London, George Philip & Son, [late 1870s]. Approximately 1420 × 1880 mm (printed surface), comprising eight sheets printed in colour (printed surface approximately 710 × 470 mm each), each comprising two panels mounted as a pair on linen, with its respective portion of the key map mounted on the verso. The maps are neatly scored along the inner borders so that the margins can be folded under and the sheets laid together seamlessly (as issued). One crease and surface crack to the top corner of Sheet 8 (clear of the printed surface); a few trifling marks; in near-fine condition, housed in the original presentation portfolio of half red roan and morocco-grain cloth, elaborately blocked in gilt (covers a little worn, with splits to the spine expertly stabilised). There are four inset maps in the bottom half: the two hemispheres; winds; heights and depths; and natural productions. An elaborate gilt-lettered blue morocco presentation label is mounted on one of the flaps of the portfolio; it reads: 'Presented to Mr. W. Whittam by the employés of Harrold Brothers, Adelaide, 31st March, 1882'.…
