What I found (Vol 1)
January 15th, 2008 | by gordon |The pastor collects junk, which is later found by his son years later. Following posts for the next few days will showcase atlases. Not much for the designs of the atlases but as an appreciation to the form they took and are back then; as an educational, informative, reference tool, opposed to the very convenient internet. Some have nice map graphics, some loosely written and drawn.
Anyway, introducing Wheaton’s Modern Teaching Atlas for Malayan Schools, probably printed in the 1950′s (As I sourced out, this link suggests that maybe the atlas was published back in 1938). But I’m quite certain that Geoffrey Barraclough (1908-1984) and C Midgley were acquainted with the subject of geography and have written books (stated here is only Barraclough) from that era. The binding method is perfect bind. Seen here with a tape and stapled due to keeping the book in one piece. This hard cover book uses non coated paper and I would say that the print quality is fairly good.
