Happy Friday ! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know that before New York was, well, New York – it was called New Amsterdam? It was a settlement by the Dutch that chose Manhattan for home. The Name, New York only came into being later in the 17th Century, chosen to pay tribute to Duke of York who helped capturing it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This colourful reprint MAP OF THE COUNTRY THIRTY-THREE MILES AROUND THE CITY OF NEW YORK is of one of the most beautiful pocket maps of the city made in the 19th century: J.H Colton’s, 1847 map covers New York City and vicinity as far south as Ocean County, New Jersey, as far east as Suffolk County, as far north as Rockland County, and as far west as Somerset County. Surrounded by a splendid decorative border with engraved views depicting “City Hall, New York” and “City Hall, Brooklyn”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ We have a beautiful collection of Old Maps and Vintage Illustrations on our website.

Certainly the ancient Greek myths were influenced and inspired by even older cultures like Egypt and Babylon (see Zeus parallels with Babylonian “Anu”) through “diffusion” (cultural spreading). But there were three powerful civilizations in ancient Greece which fostered a unique cultural and mythic heritage, spanning almost 3000 years.

MINOA: (3000 B.C.-1100 B.C.) In the Bronze age, on the southern island of Crete, rose a great civilization with a population of over 10,000 at the city of Knossos. The name derives from King Minos, of the Theseus and Minotaur myth. The Minoans were known for far-reaching Mediterranean sea trade, and wrote in a language called “Linear A,” which has never been deciphered.

MYCENAE: (1700 B.C.- 1100 B.C.) Another sea faring Bronze age civilization in which the Homeric characters hail from. With the Minoan civilization in decline around 1450 B.C., the Myceneans took over the islands and adopted much of the Minoan culture, developing a new writing system, “linear B,” which became the earliest Greek language. Whether due to invading foreigners or natural disasters, the decline of Mycenae was followed hundreds of years of decline; the “dark ages.” “Archaic” period (700-480 B.C.) Populations increased, and progressive concepts appeared, such as the creation and organization of the “Polis” or city-state.

ATHENS (480 B.C.- 323 B.C.) the word “Greece” was a later term created by the Romans. The ancient Athenian Greeks called their country “Hellas” and the people were “Hellenes.” the “Classical age” of Athens was a period of revolutionary development in philosophy; (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle,) theatre drama (Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides), refining concepts of democracy, among many other innovations in sculpture, architecture, and medicine.

Hello Map lovers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nowadays, when satellite images and GPS Services offer incredibly accurate images of the Earth's surface, we can easily forget that most human history has been an unknown tabula rasa on which Cartographers, scientists, men of faith, and sovereigns have imprinted their dreams and drawn their ideas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ancient maps are where we can see the birth of the modern world through the eyes of the historian. It is undeniable that offer us adventure, lessons in politics, history, and philosophy, and a panorama of artistic creativity unsurpassed in sheer beauty of form. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, as Kevin J. Brown wrote in his book, A Journey Back in Time Through Maps, "Ancient maps are a touching reminder that our knowledge and our perception of the world are abundant and limited at the same time.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ We have a beautiful collection of Old Maps and Vintage Illustrations on our website.

QUOTE OF THE DAY Sat, November 6, 2021 "If you follow the ancient maps written on the stars, no person will ever understand you. So if you could read these maps, would you follow them? And forever be misunderstood? Or would you close your eyes tightly and pretend to be like everyone else?" - C. JoyBell C.
