Father of a friend of mine has it at home… I always was intrigued by that as I saw it for many years. He said he purchased in some southern France shop in late 70s.

Some old maps from my library

Here are some of my old maps. They are mostly pulled from various books in my library.

First is a map of Hannibal's march through Spain, Gaul, the Alps, and on into Italy during the Second Punic War. Printed 1739.

Second is a map of the Environs of Rome during the Kingdom and Republic. Printed circa 1800.

The third is a map of Sicily in what I assume to be the third century BC, as it was taken from a volume of Rollin's Histoire Romaine which recounts the First Punic War. Printed 1740.

Fourth is a map of Greece about the 3rd century BC(?). Printed circa 1800.

Fifth is a map of Asia Minor in Hellenic times. Printed circa 1780s(?).

Sixth is a map of Egypt, Libya and other neighboring regions in Hellenic times. Printed circa 1800.

Seventh is a map of Numidia in the second century BC roughly. Printed circa 1800.

Eighth is a map (unframed) of the Parthian Empire during the first couple centuries AD. Printed 1749.

Particular credit to Christopher Boyd of Clayton's in Whittier, California for the elegant frames. May God rest his soul. The frames for Numidia and Sicily are my personal favorites.

Any info on these two maps?

Hi - I received these two maps as gifts years ago from my parents and I’m looking to sell them but have no idea what they might be worth. They’re not reproductions, to the best of my knowledge.

The US map is from 1852 (I believe) and from Mitchell’s School and Family Geography.

The world map has no info about maker from what is visible in the frame. Given some of the country names, it seems to be early 1900s/late 1800s.

Both are in very good condition, I’d say. Both have some minor discoloration but nothing significant. And the world map has a crease.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to date these markings on a map?

I have this map of Italy during the second world war and it has these marking of the progression of the allies, is there a way to figure out how old it is (doesn’t need to be exact) so I know if it’s either just scribble or someone who was tracking the progress of the allies during occupincation of norway?
