Classical Greece, Rome, Persia and Egypt, feudal France and the Napoleonic period are reconstructed in these maps by Israel Smith Clare, the American historical compiler who lived from 1847 to 1924 and wrote wide-ranging histories of the world. Published in 1894, they also give the British Isles and the Reformation their place, and the biblical geography includes the lands of the descendants of Noah and the tribes of Israel, showing how late Victorian history teaching joined scripture to political chronology. Each map shows a past period, so the date of the territory differs from the date of printing.
