Old maps of Europe

If geography is prose,
maps are iconography.

Theme (Category)

» A good map is both a useful tool,
» and a magic carpet to far away places.

With every map there comes:

  • a descriptive title above the image
  • a small version - the one you see, 500 pixels wide,
  • a large version (1000 pixels wide) for download, and
  • a link to the source.

Please note that the copyright license of our blog only allow the use of these maps for noncommerical purposes, and that moreover the license of most maps only allow their use for educational purposes. Thanks for respecting that!
