Stanford’s Double Hemisphere World Map Engraver(s)_Richard Parr Atlases in the British LibraryThis double hemisphere world map was published in the second trade edition of Stanfords London Atlas. Edward Stanford (senior) acquired Arrowmsith's stock in 1874. His own version of the London Atlas, first published in 1887 and dedicated to Queen Victoria in the year of her Golden Jubilee, is considered to be his last significant work before his retirement. Later editions were revised in keeping with the latest information. Condition & Materials
