Product Description
Among humanity s oldest written communications, maps document the histories, and reflect the sensibilities, of the cultures that produced them. Inspired by voyages of discovery and aided by advances in the technology of printing and engraving, the twelve antique European maps in this calendar are evidence of an expanding and ever more sophisticated worldview, and they are often amazingly accurate as well. All are from the collections of London's Royal Geographical Society, a leading world center for geographers and geographical learning.
Size: 13 x 12 in.; opens to 13 x 24 in.
