Happy Thursday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Old maps have been part of human history for thousands of years. The oldest known world map, the Imago Mundi, was chiselled on a clay tablet in ancient Babylon in 6 B.C. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ancient maps have the magic of taking us back in time and see the birth of the modern world. It takes us on a journey through the eyes of historians and cartographers, it is where they've imprinted their dreams and draw their ideas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here at Old Maps Library, we love how we can use an old map to explore the history of a new world, and what we can learn about the people who created them, and the romance of parts still unknown to us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As Kevin J. Brown said: "Ancient maps are a touching reminder that our knowledge and our perception of the world are abundant and limited at the same time". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you also fascinated by old maps? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Old maps are a perfect gift filled with history and memories or an amazing keepsake from unique and breathtaking places around the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Old Maps Library reprint map of NOTTINGHAM SHIRE, describing its WAPONTAKES and DIVISIONS. Drawn from the last Authorities, assisted by the most approved Modern Maps, with various improvements. Illustrated with Historical Extracts relative to its Natural Produce, Air, Soil, Trade, Manufactures and present state of the principal Towns. By Emanuel Bowen, 1755. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ We have a beautiful collection of Old Maps and Vintage Illustrations on our website.

Happy Wednesday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our second stop of the week is at Old Maps Library home county, MIDDLESEX. ❤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our map is a fine reproduction of Middlesex records market towns and market days, towns where Quarter Sessions are held, towns where County Courts are held, Post Towns, and statistical information relating to London and Middlesex. By Forster Groom & Co, 1883. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Middlesex was established in the Anglo-Saxon period from the territory of the Middle Saxons. The River Thames was the key to the history of Middlesex. From about 8000 BCE traders and settlers used the Thames as their waterway. During the Iron Age (c. 500 BCE) settlements existed at Brentford and Heathrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nowadays, most of Middlesex, for administrative purposes, became part of Greater London in 1965. ⏳Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ We have a beautiful collection of Old Maps and Vintage Illustrations on our website.
