Tropic of Cancer - Tropic of Capricorn

two atlas, the same edition, I had as a student to explore the world, coverd with white paint, left over is only the stripes of the tropic of Cancer and Capricorn, according to the books of Henry Miller, covered in blue and red

the stripes are making the connection, of city and countries, which are in the political way or climatic perspective nether close togehter, like Carachi and Habana ...and because it's a german atlas, the northern hemisphere takes much more percentage of the book pages.
