I came across these maps at work, interestingly enough. They are part of a virtual exhibition about old schoolhouses and old schoolbooks.
The book that these particular maps came from is called: A New Universal Atlas of the World, on an Improved Plan: Consisting of Thirty Maps, Carefully Prepared from the Latest Authorities with Complete Alphabetical Indexes.
I've been looking for old maps like these for a while now! I wish I could buy them somewhere and them not be tens of thousands of dollars!
