Description
This is an attractive 1890 Jean Dosseray map of North and South America. The map is divided into sections dedicated to North America and South America. Although most of the content is in French, additional titling in English, Italian, and Spanish underscore the author's intended pan-European audience. A row of flags across the top add a vexillological component. Bold lines trace continental railroad networks throughout both maps. In addition, significant attention is given to First Peoples nations, which are labeled throughout. An inset in the lower left focuses on the Aleutian Islands and the Bering Sea.
