Description

Rare separately published aquatint engraving of the comparative heights of the mountains (and volcanos) throughout the world, with a rare separate key identiying the names of the illustrated peaks.

This landscape presents a unique comparison of the world's major mountains, positioned as if they were neighbors. To the left-center, the active Mount Etna is prominently featured, while the snow-covered Himalayas loom in the distance, overshadowing all others. Additionally, cultural landmarks such as the Pyramids, a domed basilica, and a spired church are strategically placed to provide a sense of scale against these natural wonders.

The image is a based upon original artwork by Thomas Dulley.

Tableau Comparatif de l'État des Connaissances Géographiques [Comparative Table of the State of Geographical Knowledge]

This map, created by F.A. Garnier and published in 1860, provides a comparative view of global geographic knowledge as it developed from ancient times to the modern era. The map uses a gradation of shaded areas to convey three distinct phases of discovery: the darkest regions represent territories known to ancient civilizations, primarily in the Mediterranean and parts of Asia; an intermediate shade indicates lands discovered by the close of the 15th century; and the lightest regions show territories revealed through more recent explorations.
