74 Rare Antique Panoramic Maps
of New York State on CD-ROM
This is Volume 2 of 2
This is an INCREDIBLE collection of
74 ULTRA HIGH RESOLUTION antique
maps (most are in the 10 to 15 megabyte range EACH!!!) dating from the 1700's
to the early 1900's. Many of these maps are so
RARE that it is unlikely that you would ever
have the change to see one outside of a museum, much less own one, and be
able to examine it in such amazing detail. If you have even a passing interest
in antique maps this is one collection you will want to own.
These maps represent some of the most beautiful and historic maps
ever produced. Many have stunningly beautiful border decorations and are
richly handcolored.
If you are at all interested in the art of Cartography (mapmaking)
or just in studing beautiful maps you wil absolutely LOVE this CD.
You can view the maps at MANY times the size
of the original in unbelievable detail zooming in to extreme closeness with
very clear and sharp clarity. You can pan in all directions at any magnification.
It's like being able to examine them under a microscope!
While it is not at all practical to provide
a sample of one of the maps at full resolution (it would take the average
PC many minutes to download and many more to refresh
for each zoom) we have provided a set of six screen shots at increasing
magnification to give a feel for just how fine the detail is even at extreme
magnification. While it may take a moment to load the screen
shots.
FROM THE CD THE MAPS LOAD MANY TIMES FASTER
AND REFRESH IS ONLY ABOUT 2 SECONDS.
