Description: A world map from 1911 showing the earth on an Equivalent Projection (preserves relative size of areas, but distorts shape, particularly in the higher latitudes). The map shows national borders, major cities, and submarine cable routes. "This new map presents a comprehensive view of the superficial area of the Earth, not unlike that which would be displayed by the printed cover of a globe, if removed and flattened."
