Antique printed color comparative illustration of the heights of buildings "of the Old World." Includes a key at the bottom of the map to identify each building. Printed color of each building represents its building materials (e.g. Red indicates Brick, Yellow indicates gold, etc.). At this time, the Cologne Cathedral was the tallest man-made structure in the world. Back side has map of the time zones, which were brand new in 1883 and created by the railroad companies (It wasn't until 1918 that Congress made it official). Very good antique condition with very mild toning of the paper, and a few spots of minor foxing outside the border. Published by Cram, c. 1883. Measures approximately 9.5" x 12.5" to the neatline.
