Asian maps

Asia is a massive and infinitely varied continent which has presented cartographers with almost insuperable problems of climate, terrain and access. Many areas have been shut off from time-to-time from outside contact and that added to the difficulties. There is a huge interest in maps of all parts of Asia and we have sold maps to prospective authors of books, to people interested in the area from which their ancestors came, even to philatelists specializing in postal history.
