CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'The World on Mercator's Projection'

The map is described as being on Mercator's projection. James Gall himself was famous for introducing his own projections - one of which is now known as the Gall-Peters projection. The spacing of the lines of latitude on this map does not correspond either to the Mercator or Gall's own Stereographic projection, but is closer to the latter, suggesting that he was experimenting with variations in projections before he formally presented his Stereographic Projection in 1855
