    Early Thematic Map: Spread of Christianity
    "Chart of the Rise & Progress of Christianity" - Eastern Hemisphere - Western Hemisphere.
    London: G and W. B. Whitaker / Shackell and Arrowsmith, 1822?
    Large (23" x 18") chart with maps of both Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Text below covers various religions, including Roman Catholics, the Greek Church, Protestants, and Protestant Dissenters.
    The date is a guess because the chart gives the population of Christians in 1822.

    Case bears former ownership label (1913) of Battersea Public Libraries. Library stamps on the back linen panels.
