Persia, a Tehran inset and alternative spellings of Dubai show the mid-century world as mapped by The Times, the atlas publishing associated with the London newspaper. The examples date from the 1950s and cover Iran, Finland and northern Scandinavia, north-east Asia, northern India, the Indian Ocean islands and Western Australia, while the wider collection reaches back into the late nineteenth century. Comparing regions and editions shows changes in political divisions and settlement information, and inset plans and neighbouring territories place each country within the wider atlas.
