Where can I find a world map from the Victorian period?

Accepted answer
There are some atlases for 1890 or thereabouts on the internet archive. This one here is exactly 1890.
There are plenty of others at this link (but not necessarily 1890).

University of Alabama has a large digital collection of historical maps grouped by region and period of publication. Here are the world maps for 1876-1900, and it's a long list with thumbnail images and publication details. But unfortunately, the image links don't work! It's really a shame this site is not maintained but with some searching you may be able to track down images on archive.org or elsewhere.
Here are a few other sites with searchable collections of historical maps, and some relevant examples I found on each with just a quick search.
