This 1860s world map was published by Archibald Fullarton as part of his Royal Illustrated Atlas of Modern Geography. It indicates British possessions in red, and contains details on the population and area in square miles of each possession. The map is also richly decorated with figures of inhabitants from these possessions, including the "natives of British Asia and of East Indian Islands" on the lower left of the map.
