Cette carte est issue de l'ouvrage Géographie physique. Diagrammes géologiques, publié entre 1846 et 1851 par James Reynolds et John Emslie. Il contient douze planches qui présentent différents phénomènes naturels du monde. Ces cartes comparatives donnent des informations géographiques, géologiques, zoologiques ou climatiques. La cinquième planche de cet ouvrage est une gravure colorée à la main qui présente les principales chutes d'eau du monde, comparant d'un côté les chutes américaines et de l'autre les chutes européennes et africaines. La plus haute (en altitude) est la cataracte de Gavarny (dans les Pyrénées) et la plus basse est la dernière cataracte du Nil.
The map comes from Geological diagrams, published in 1851 by James Reynolds and John Emslie. Colourized by hand and highly detailed, the portfolio had twelve plates presenting different natural or cultural phenomena of the planet: distribution of plants, air currents and religions, largest rivers, peaks or waterfalls, the most famous buildings... These comparative maps thus provided geographic, geological, zoological, sociological and climatic information. Waterfalls, the fifth plate of the book, presents the best-known waterfalls of the day. The highest is the waterfall of Gavarnie (Pyrenees), which is higher than 420 m, the lowest is the last of the six cataracts of the Nile, these being rapids more than waterfalls, due to the blocks of rock in the riverbed.
Fils d'imprimeur, James Reynolds (1817-1876) devient éditeur et imprimeur de cartes et de musique à Londres à partir de 1851. Il collabore régulièrement avec le cartographe, dessinateur et graveur John Emslie (1813-1875). Leur ouvrage commun le plus célèbre est un Atlas de voyage en Angleterre, publié pour la première fois en 1848, puis réédité et modifié de nombreuses fois, et qui deviendra l'Atlas géologique de la Grande-Bretagne. Par la suite, tous deux seront admis à la Royal Geographic Society.
The son of a printer, James Reynolds (1817-1876) became a publisher and printer of maps and music scores in London in the late 1840s. His most famous collaborator was the cartographer, draughtsman and engraver John Emslie (1813-1875). Together, they created in particular a Travel Atlas in England, published for the first time in 1848, then reissued and updated several times, and which was to become the Geological Atlas of Great Britain, as well as many other publications: graphic representations, school atlases, geological or astronomical educational diagrams, to name but a few. Both were to be elected later to the prestigious Royal Geographic Society in London.
