Image from Black's General Atlas of the World. 1873. Pub. by Adam & Charles Black, Edinburgh. The Atlas pages are slightly yellowed so I have taken some Y out of the yellow channel. Also tidied up the paper surface which had minute printers in blobs, plus the odd blemish which I have digitally tippexed out. - I think this is likely to be out of copyright, but you should do due diligence for any commercial uses. I have researched as far as I can. By all accounts (at least according to the Bodleian Library) general Atlas map copyright in the UK (when produced by a company) exists for 70 years after the date of publication - and not 70 years after the author's / originator's death as with literary works.
