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 European maps of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are extravagantly rich in historical detail, as the twelve images in this calendar attest. Evidence of an expanding and ever more sophisticated worldview, they are often amazingly accurate. The maps presented here are from the collections of The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in Southern California.Size: 12 x 13 in.; opens to 12 x 26 in. Printed on FSC certified paper with soy-based inks.

I hesitated a little bit because I've just been buying dollar store calendars for the last few years, or making do with free ones. But I love maps and I really love historical/antique maps. This calendar is just beautiful, printed on heavy weight paper, and a bit larger than I was expecting. The pictures inside are gorgeous and worthy of being framed when the calendar is done.
