Happy Thursday! Happy Saint Patrick's Day, patron saint of Ireland!🍀 He was born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century, and he was kidnapped at the age of 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He escaped but returned about 432 CE to convert the Irish to Christianity. By the time of his death on March 17, 461, he had established monasteries, churches, and schools. Many legends grew up around him—for example, that he drove the snakes out of Ireland and used the shamrock ☘️to explain the Trinity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To celebrate today a gorgeous Ireland Map, 1798 by William Faden.

“A map is the greatest of all epic poems. Its line and colours show the realisation of great dreams." - Gilbert H.

Happy Wednesday! Old maps have been part of human history for thousands of years.

Happy Monday! Did you know that the city of York began in 71AD with the Romans? But, archaeological evidence suggests that settlements around York date back to the Mesolithic period.

The idea is not to live forever, but to create something that will. - Andy Warhol - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cartography is the art and science of making maps. Map making has been part of our history for thousands of years. 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. It was Gerardus Mercator, a Flemish Geographer, that drawn by hand on paper the first reasonably accurate world map in 1569. His world map was based on a new projection which represented sailing courses of constant bearing as straight lines—an innovation that is still employed in nautical charts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Old maps are a special treasure that allow us to see the birth of the modern world through it. We absolutely love it!

Happy Monday! London history extends over 2000 years, and in that time, it has become one of the world's most significant financial and cultural capital cities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But, the city looked very different in the 18th century. London was dirty, noisy, and overcrowded. It had about 600,000 people around 1700 and almost a million residents in 1800. The rich, only a tiny minority of the population, lived luxuriously in lavish, elegant mansions and country houses, which they furnished with comfortable, upholstered furniture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about take a trip with us to 18th century London? We have for you this gorgeous map of Thomas Bowle's, 1794. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BOWLE’S New Pocket Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster with the Borough of Southwark: comprehending their Outskirts and Extent of the Thames from Chelsea to Deptford, exhibiting also the New Buildings, Roads and other Alterations to the year 1794. Detailed plan of Eighteenth-century London. Superb detail throughout often noting individual buildings, gardens, and estates. Table along the bottom notes principal buildings and churches. Bowles first issued this plan in 1777 and updated it regularly to the end of the 18th century. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ We have this beautiful map & more in our collection.
