Brilliant! Maps have always stirred my soul. I trace my fascination with them to the National Geographic subscription that my parents maintained from the year of my birth until my dad died. There was a cabinet in our garage where my dad stored each year’s 12, always carefully tied up by string. Who needed anything else to promote an interest in the world far beyond where I lived my day to day?
George, I love these maps. As a kid I would pore over many kinds of information including maps and pieces in the Encyclopedia Britannia. I feel I must ask you where you sit on the political spectrum. Sincerely, Mary Ellen Rousseau
Thanks! I try to steer this Substack (mostly) clear of politics and current events, but you can get a pretty good sense of my political leanings from the stuff I have written elsewhere (https://worldhistory.medium.com/).
Thanks George, I got it. Mary Ellen

Yep... maps are such a great inspiration for daydreaming!
