Wellcome Images & Unusual Historic Maps

Wellcome Images has put a large volume of older materials, including maps, online. If you search "map" under the category Historical Images, you will find many historic maps, some quite unusual and interesting. Most need to be "zoomed in on" to be more easily read.

Here's a link to an article about literary maps of mostly fictional places. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/mapping-literary-worlds?utm_source=faceboo...

>1 bookblotter: Thanks for this link. I searched 'maps' off the bat & result was fetchingly eclectic collection of images I'll be returning to. I associated Wellcome only with a book prize; it's nice to find they've more to offer.

Very interesting. Are they producing a catalogue book that can be purchased by those who cannot attend the exhibition?
