Compact regional sheets make Asprey's Atlas of the World a portable Edwardian reference atlas, published by George Philip & Son in London in 1912. Its coverage runs from the German Empire and the United States to Queensland, South America and Canada, with Newfoundland mapped separately and an inset of Cape York, and the borders and place names are those of the world before the First World War. The small format calls for concise outlines and selected settlements, so large countries such as the United States are divided into sections and islands and peninsulas receive insets where needed.
