Learn about the history of the Western world - Old Fashioned History through old fashioned maps

Maps are useful, decorative, and a fascinating historic chronicle. This small atlas contains a variety of maps, chosen mostly to illuminate events and characters described in the Old Fashioned School Book Readers, though it can be enjoyed on its own. Most of the maps in this atlas are maps from old school books, though a few are antique commercial maps, and other historical maps. As these are very old maps, some may be rather crude compared to modern maps, and some show stains and wear common to antique maps. Some of the old maps, however, are true works of art that could scarcely be duplicated today.
