No. 0002 La Palette des Voyageurs (12.75"x12.75")

In a world of intricate satellite maps and easy phone GPS, it's difficult to imagine what it must have been like to not know what was on the other side of the world - or even that there was another side of the world. So many blank areas on maps and so many wiggly lines of guessed-at coastlines! Imagine setting sail with a compass, sextant, and the stars, with the risk that if you sailed too far you'd fall off the edge of the earth.

"La Palette des Voyageurs" or "The Palette of the Travelers" chronicles in color the history of world exploration, from arctic climbers to pioneering trail-blazers to silk road traders to pirates, conquerors, and intrepid explorers.
