Maps Showing the World and Polar Regions
While this collection includes a number of traditional world maps it also contains a range of maps on less familiar themes and map projections. The World Powers 1957 map is particularly interesting as it uses the Atlantis Projection devised in 1948 by John Bartholomew. This map appeared in the Mid-Century edition of The Times Atlas of the World. Also included in the collection is a world map showing the British Empire from the first Times World Atlas, produced by the German firm Velhagen & Klasing in 1896.
