This antique C. S. Hammond map includes colorful illustrations of the North and South Polar Regions. I scanned this vintage image from a dictionary in my collection that was published in 1906.

September 28, 2014 at 10:14 amWow! What a wonderful image. I immediately thought of making a card with reindeer and a sled flying above, and then I really started looking closely (at he beautiful large detailed image you provide), and noticed all kinds of differences between the two poles that I’ve never thought about before.
Thank you so much for providing the breadth of vintage images that you do. Not only are they great resources for my crafting life, but they are fascinating on all kinds of levels, and even more so, since you share their origins.

What a wonderful idea to make a card with reindeer and a sled flying above! If you do make the card, I would love to see it!
I’m delighted to know that you’re enjoying the images.
