Texas as Republic Americas wall map c.1848 by James Wyld 2 enormous linen backed folding maps rare

The World on Mercator's Projection by James Wyld, Geographer to the Queen and Prince Albert. (Texas as a Republic, transitional outline shape) Issued London, 1842-50, by James Wyld, Jr. Scarce monumental mid-19th century linen-backed folding map, original outline hand color. Publisher's paper stock label affixed to one panel, listing maps then for sale. Two (of four) portions of an enormous and scarce mid-19th century English World map, these two large folding maps comprising the Western Hemisphere including the Poles and Americas. Note the transitional outline shape of Texas, likely shown while still a Republic. Each section is 24 panels, together the 48 panels measuring c. 52" H x 40" W. Each section with various age flaws, a horizontal section of seven panels detached on each map due to dried linen backing. Small age stain in spots, video capture condition better than words. Publisher's list suggests c. 1848-9 date although map could possibly precede this by several years and have been affixed long after original publication. Further research into specific place names would allow for a more definitive dating. Closed size 8 7/8" H x 5" W. Each map of 24 panels measures c. 26" H. x 40" W.
