Description
“In design, scope, and organization the Cosmopolitan World Atlas is quite different from any reference atlas previously published in the United States. The world has been mapped on a broad regional basis, not country by country; but each regional map is centered around a major country or a significant grouping of countries.” – Special Features Section.
This is a nice example of the 1955 issue of Rand McNally Cosmopolitan World Atlas (its ‘finest reference atlas’), a special Centennial Edition published to celebrate the company’s 100th anniversary. Dozens of maps, scores of pages of text and illustrations, chronological charts, a comprehensive index of place names, and more offer a wealth of up-to-date information about global politics and geography during the mid-20th century.
