Map Indexes

[Jeffry Persons]

I would like to add a few more map indexes that I have not seen listed.  They are as follows:

1.1949 Europe and the Near East; I have both a dark globe and the uncolored globe

2.1950Classical Lands; I have both globes

3. 1950 Africa...; I have both globes

4.  1951 World; I have both globes

5.  1953 Historical Map of US; I have both globes

6. 1954 California; I have both globes

Also for clarification on the 1945 USSR indexes:

rear page blank has a dark globe

with publications the globe is dark

with books the globe is uncoloured

I also have three proofs with notes attached dated 1956; one with publications and an uncoloured globe, one with

books with uncoloured globe and the last with a blank page with dark globe

Also with the 1942 Asia indexes:

Washington in scroll has publications

25 has a blank page and 25 also has publications

Also of note I have three indexes where there is a noticeable difference in the printing within the scroll; one is very dark and muddy and very slightly smaller and the other is very clear and slightly larger.  I feel that this most likely is due to two different printing runs.   Those indexes are 1936 Canada; 1938 Bible lands; 1939 Central Europe and 1940 Europe and Near East.

I also looked in one of my map cases to see what map indexes were present.  This is what I found:

1948 Australia

1949 Top of the World

1950 Classical Lands with uncoloured globe and no banner

1952 Southwest Asia

1955 Southeast Asia

1955 Atlantic Ocean

1956 Alaska

1957 Europe

1961 USSR with no globe

1962 Western Europe with uncoloured globe and a straight banner (empty)

1962 Pacific Ocean with uncoloured globe with nothing in the banner

1962 Canada, Alaska, Greenland with no globe and nothing in the banner

1964 Lands of the Bible Today with no globe and nothing in the banner

Hi Tom,

Regarding the original map index for Western Europe (1950) there are 8683 place names, so that makes it a revision.

The Pacific Ocean original map index 1952) has 5958 place names so that would make it a reprint.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Regards, Jeff

Hi All,

There is a duplication of the 1984 World and the 1987 US

Sorry about that!

Jeff,

Thanks for the additional information.  I think I'll use it to rework my spreadsheet of Map Indices to include columns for duplicate "styles" of the same index (colored/uncolored globes and such).
