About this work
This hand-colored engraved map shows the global distribution of air currents and variable winds, with labeled regions such as the trade winds, monsoon zones, and hurricane districts. A second map below presents the distribution of rainfall across the world, using shaded zones and labeled rain regimes. Drawn and engraved by John Emslie and published in 1851 by James Reynolds, the sheet pairs wind and precipitation patterns in a single printed plate.
