Inspired by voyages of discovery and aided by advances in the technology of printing and engraving, the European maps of the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries are extravagantly rich in historical detail. Evidence of an expanding and ever more sophisticated worldview, they are often amazingly accurate as well. The twelve sixteenth- and seventeenth-century maps reproduced in this calendar--depicting diverse locations the world over, from Africa and Europe to Asia and the Arctic--are from the collections of London's Royal Geographical Society, a leading world center for geographic science and education.
