#ICYMI, the rare 1795 Haines Jerusalem: among this dramatic map's features, witness David "avoiding out of Saul's presence" which, given the angry king's javelin, seems a reasonable plan. #antiquemaps #geographicus #li #kingjamesbible (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WG6sjpQ94/?igshid=1krnglpanoaxy

Remember elementary school geography? How every map was supposed to have a key? This map is the first to do that. It's also the first acquirable modern map of Bohemia, first published by Munster in 1545 (this one is 1558). It was based on the Claudianus map of 1518 (the second image) which is NOT acquirable - there being only a single known example. You can acquire the Munster, though! #antiquemaps #geographicus #czechrepublic #maphistory #li #utraquist # (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4k0YzfpJs4/?igshid=obubktwncwe1

#Spencer's Pick: an ultra-cool WWII unit route map of the famous 42nd Infantry "Rainbow Division" created by Theodore MacKechnie, who served in that unit. These maps were made by the soldiers and for the soldiers - "not for publication!" #antiquemaps #raremaps #geographicus #li #42ndinfantrydivision #rainbowdivision #wwII #worldwar2 (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VauX-J0oc/?igshid=q5dj7fzx4vbf

Spencer's pick is a remarkable discovery: a scarce 1864 book on #Gettysburg, with ms. notes describing the battle, and two tipped-in maps: one an unrecorded printed map by Andrew J. Cross, another a manuscript map of the battle dated to 1863! #geographicus #li #antiquemaps #civilwar #battleofgettysburg #americancivilwar #raremap #antiquemap Http://bit.ly/geographicus (at Geographicus Rare Antique Maps) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3w9cQyptKD/?igshid=1vn0g2dno5koc
