1854 World Panorama America INDIANS Hunting GOLD Australia Arabia China Africa

William Pinnock’s ‘Panorama of the Old Word and the New’ was written to give a ‘living picture’ of the countries of the world as they were in the 1850s. Pinnock sought to achieve this by including information on what he deemed as most important –  boundaries, political condition, manners, customs, peculiarities, modes of life, and an occasional look at history for Europe, Asia, America (North and South) and Africa. Pinnock makes use of excellent illustrators to bring the panorama to life with engravings of animals, hunting, Native Americans, gold digging in Australia, and a myriad of costumes, scenes, and portraits of places and peoples.

This 1854 edition is embellished with several hundred engravings from designs of Croome, Devereux, and other distinguished artists!
