Animal Distribution Map by A.K. Johnston – Fauna by Climate Zones 1852

Informazioni sull’articolo

Animal Distribution Map by A.K. Johnston – Fauna by Climate Zones 1852 This beautifully engraved chart titled "The Distribution of Animals Including the Mammalia, Birds, Reptiles & Fishes; According to Zones of Climate" was created by Alexander Keith Johnston and published in 1852 by William Blackwood & Sons, Edinburgh and London. It appears as Plate 16 in Johnston’s influential *Physical Atlas of Natural Phenomena*, one of the most important thematic atlases of the 19th century. This map presents a global view of the natural distribution of animals based on climatic zones, highlighting how temperature, geography, and elevation influence animal habitats. The world is divided into major climate zones such as the "Temperate Fauna," "Tropical Fauna," and "Zones of Perpetual Ice and Snow," with red typography identifying characteristic species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and marine life in each region. Notable animal groups are labeled in situ, such as the polar bear, right whale, llama, lion, elephant, condor, kangaroo, and reindeer. Faunal regions across Asia, Africa, the Americas, Australia, and the Arctic are described in broad zoological terms. The map distinguishes between terrestrial and marine fauna, with references to oceanic zones for species like whales and seals, while also noting elevation-related changes in animal life. Beneath the main map is a detailed comparative diagram titled "Distribution of Animals in a Vertical Direction," showing how animal species vary with altitude across major mountain systems in the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. Mountains like the Andes, Alps, Himalayas, and the Rocky Mountains are illustrated with fauna labeled at different heights—from mountain goats and condors to tigers and leopards—illustrating the vertical stratification of animal habitats. Alexander Keith Johnston (1804–1871) was a pioneer in thematic cartography and served as Geographer in Ordinary to Queen Victoria. His *Physical Atlas* combined scientific rigor with visual clarity and artistic precision, making complex environmental and biological data both accessible and visually compelling. This plate is ideal for collectors of natural history, early zoological science, or antique educational prints. It also serves as an elegant decorative piece for libraries, studies, or offices with a scientific or historical theme. Condition and framing tips: Very good condition with mild age toning and a clean image area. Original centerfold present. Frame in dark wood or black with a neutral or ivory mat to enhance the subtle red and green tones and the delicate engravings. A fine piece for natural history enthusiasts and vintage map collectors alike.
