WR8 0PB. I don't have the phone number, unfortunately, but you can probably get it from the directory. They have the largest stock of usual and unusual maps I have ever seen. And if they don't have one, they will probably know who does. Good Luck! Megan, who also is fascinated with old maps, especially of medieval cities and towns. == In 1994: Linda Anfuso In the Current Middle Ages: Megan ni Laine de Belle Rive In the SCA, Inc: sustaining member # 33644 YYY YYY meg@tinhat.stonemarche.org | YYYYY | |____n____| Newsgroups: rec.org.sca From: alr@nauvax.ucc.nau.edu (LADY ANNA) Subject: RE: Maps of the Ancient World Organization: Northern Arizona University Date: Sat, 19 Feb 1994 22:20:09 GMT Greetings-- Anyone interested in said maps might also try the National Geographic Museum in Washington D.C.

It was a while ago, and I cleared out the message after searching a few web sites I have bookmarked on map collections and not finding it. So, now I found some -- in the Paris Pages, tourist info! I don't recall the specific years requested -- maps here from 1552, 1572, 1575, 1615, 1779, 1960 -- but this is fun to look at anyway, so here's the URL: http://paris.org/Maps/ -- Harriet Edited by Mark S.
