Pictorial colour printed map drawn by Alfred Edward Taylor (1887-1895) issued by Pratt's Motor Oil Company as promotional advertising. Description of the main places on the map by S.P.B. Mais - Stuart Petre Brodie Mais (1885-1975) verso.
Describing the maps, S.P.B. Mais writes, "I have seldom, if ever, seen a happier blending of the artist and wit in a cartographer. They are jolly, they are informative, they are original, and they have a magic enticing quality about them..." 
Some marking to paper edges with a few repaired tears to left margin close to printed border but a very good example on heavy paper of the large version with a single centrefold only.
