This scarce historical index contains a comprehensive breakdown of the various countries, cities, towns, and islands represented on Mitchell's famous wall map, designed so that the position of any geographical place could be readily ascertained.

Additionally, it features a detailed general description of the "Five Great Divisions of the Globe"—America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceanica—along with their respective empires, kingdoms, states, and territories.

An essential acquisition for collectors of S. Augustus Mitchell maps, early American atlases, or 1840s geographical ephemera looking to complete a set or own a standalone piece of printing history.

Condition Report

Please examine the high-resolution listing photos to evaluate the condition. Notable observations include:

Cover: Original marbled paper boards show shelf wear, rubbing to the surfaces, and bumped corners typical of a book of this age.

Spine: Shows significant historical wear. There is a large diagonal loss of leather on the upper half of the spine, exposing the underlying binding material. The original gilt lettering ("MITCH... WORLD") is partially present on the lower remaining leather segment.

Interior: The title page exhibits moderate, uniform foxing and age-toning, consistent with mid-19th-century American paper stock. The text block remains intact.
