Tour de France Show
















It's a race that can be over 2000 miles, takes a better portion of a month, stretches from the Sea to the Alps, and is the largest bicycle race in the world. The Tour De France began in 1903, and continues today with a growing audience. We are excited to offer a show of Tour De France maps in conjunction with our friends at Urbanistic (3215 Lowell in historic Highlands Square) where we will have maps on display from the 1930's up to the 2004. Includes the winning years for such greats as Eddy Merckx, Greg LeMond, and of course Lance Armstrong. Show opens this weekend during the Highlands Fair, and just in time for Father's Day.

Interesting Article on Old Maps...

Old Japanese Maps On Google Earth Unveil Secrets


We recently read this article on old Japanese Maps. It is interesting how maps can seems so factual and neutral at one point in time, and be inflammatory at another. What do you think when you look at a map? Do you see the slant of the map-maker or do you usually tend to see "facts"?

We currently have some original Japanese published materials available for sale on our website.
