Before Wikipedia – Origin & Development of Life Visual Encyclopaedia Universalis

by Ivan on June 21, 2009

Another jewel from Flickr. For those interested in visual design, this is really interesting. If you thought Wikipedia was impressive, check this out.

This appears on p.32 of the Unknown. (1993). Times Atlas of the world (concise edition) 6th Ed. Hammond World Atlas Corporation.

First published in 1982, this book has become a classic of reference publishing around the globe.

The acknowledgements section gives picture credit to “Encyclopaedia Universalis”.

There is so much detail, land water, geological time, such subtle pastel colours, little line illustrations & sharp pink sectioning.
