Railways, telegraph cables and ocean currents share the page with political boundaries in Blackie's late Victorian world atlas, the Descriptive Atlas of the World and General Geography, prepared under the supervision of W. G. Blackie and published by Blackie & Son in 1893. The selection runs from southern England and Denmark to Japan, Australia, western Canada and southern Africa, with Palestine, the Great Lakes and the western Pacific. A North Atlantic sheet on a gnomonic projection marks currents and submarine cables, and other maps show counties, Japanese districts, railways and colonial territories.
