Home to Nelson Mandela, dramatic mountains, sub-tropical rainforests, wildlife-rich savannahs, buzzing cities, and rich cultural history - SOUTH AFRICA is on the southernmost tip of the African continent and, a country of astounding diversity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that South Africa has three capitals?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, that´s right, we know most of the countries just have one, but South Africa is famous for having three capitals:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⋆ Pretoria is the administrative capital, where you will find the president of the cabinet and the executive power.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⋆ The second capital is Cape Town, which is the legislative capital, where the national assembly is located.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⋆ And last of all, Bloemfontein which is named the judicial capital.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Old Maps Library reprint map of British India is a highly decorative and detailed mid-19th century map, (including Nepal) which was drawn and engraved by J. Rapkin (vignettes by A. H. Wray & G. Greenback) and published in John Tallis’s Illustrated Atlas (London & New York: c.1851).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An interesting feature of the map is the depiction of the then proposed railway lines running from Bombay to Delhi and Calcutta.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From the first opening in 1853, the railway network has become an integral feature of modern India.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The map has also illustrated views of Lahore; Cootub Minar, Delhi; an Indian procession, and Belouche tribesmen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For 200 years, from the mid 18th Century to independence and partition in 1947. The rule of the British in India is possibly the most controversial and the most hotly debated aspect of the history of the British empire.

As well as an explorer and map geek are you also a food lover? So, the city map we choose today is for you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am talking about CORK! It’s the second-largest city and also known as the culinary capital of Ireland. Cork is a city where you’re actively encouraged to gorge, so loose clothing is advised! 
It has the oldest market of its kind in Europe, the fantastic English Market, and even got the royal seal of approval in 2011 when Queen Elizabeth II went on a walkabout of its artisan stalls.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Old Maps Library reprint map of Cork is a town plan and includes vignettes of Blarney Castle, Black Rock Castle, Queenstown Harbour, and Old Weir Bridge, Killarney.
Published in 1851 by John F. Tallis.

Happy Sunday! Enjoy your day wherever you are! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The idea is not to live forever, but to create something that will. - Andy Warhol - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maps have been around forever! Cartography, the art and science of making maps, has been part of human history for thousands of years. Old maps have the magic of taking us back in time and see the birth of the modern world.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The oldest know world map the Imago Mundi was chiselled on a clay tablet in ancient Babylon in 6 B.C. Ancient Greeks in 4 B.C had similar maps though they correctly believed that the earth was not flat, but a sphere. The First reasonably accurate world map was drawn by hand on paper by Gerardus Mercator, a Flemish geographer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyone else loves old maps? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳We have a beautiful collection on our website.
