The maps, such as the one depicting Africa, reflect the geographic knowledge of the time, dating back to around 1840.

Although these peculiar maps and atlases are rare and often found in less than pristine condition, they remain some of the most entertaining and whimsical educational tools in the realm of 19th-century geography.
