    Antwerp! Lovely touristic map of the city of Antwerp in 1892 from the collections of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

    What I appreciate, next to the map, are the vintage advertisements of Antwerp shops and restaurants. This one is from Ferd. Moris where you could find Asian objects like porcelain and bronzes.

    “Literally a million fascinating cartographic artifacts are held in this sprawling university collection…
    Within the campus University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a geographer’s treasure trove: More than a million artifacts from the American Geographical Society, one of the most incredible collections of maps, atlases, and globes to be found anywhere in America.
    It’s an inconspicuous home for such a storied collection: This is the final resting place of the library of the illustrious American Geographical Society…”
