Antique maps capture a time when the world was still being discovered, blending art, science, and imagination into beautifully detailed works. Created by early cartographers, these maps reflect humanity’s desire to understand and document the unknown, often featuring ornate borders, hand-drawn coastlines, mythical creatures, and historical place names. Beyond navigation, antique maps tell stories of exploration, trade routes, and shifting political boundaries, revealing how people once viewed the world and their place within it. Rich in texture, typography, and aged color palettes, they offer a fascinating glimpse into history and the evolution of geographic knowledge. 12 x 12" calendar includes major holidays, lunar phases, equinoxes and solstices.
