Welcome!

We're interested in sharing interesting, beautiful or informative examples of the cartographer's trade, from their emergence in the ancient Near East up to a somewhat arbitrary end-date of 1950 A.D.

We'll happily accept historical maps! If you're posting a map, please provide a description and date in the title.
