It took M. F. Maury nearly 10 years to reach this representation of "sea drift and whales" in 1855. Melville's *Moby-Dick* (published before this map) registers this changing perception of the oceans. First time I come across a French version

. Not sure anyone has opened this book since then. Chevalier's account of his travels in the US in early 1830s is very interesting and has a nice map focused on transportation.

scholars |fans: Help. This centerfold (published in the French magazine “La Vie Parisienne”) is from 1912. I've been looking in my dozens of folders for earlier examples of artists working with a similar technique. Can you think of any examples from 1912 and possibly a little earlier? 🙋🏻♀️

Hey

is that a typo in *Huck Finn*'s 4th critical edition? The 3rd edition had "store", which clearly makes much more sense. Thanks!
