1) BRITISH ISLANDS 1688
Here is a map of the British Isles made in 1688 by Pierre Duval d'Abbeville (1618-1683),
nephew of Nicolas Sanson and himself Geographer of the King. This document is special because it shows the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms of the Heptarchy (about 600-800 A.D.) simultaneously with the main 18th. century towns.

England has been added in the Europe Photos section. You can see some pictures of Bath, Stonehenge, Avebury, Salisbury, Chester (the Roman Deva), Oxford and the English countryside. We have added, of course, the statues of Boudica, Cromwell, Lord Nelson and two foreigners having had strong ties with this country: Richard Lionheart and Mahatma Gandhi.

3) GEOREFERENCED HISTORICAL VECTOR DATA
We are still improving the Euratlas Georeferenced Historical Vector Data and the licences for 5 centuries are already available in the Euratlas Shop. Thus, you will find here the licences for the years 2000, 1900, 1800, 1700, 1600 and 1500. The 15 remaining centuries will be added progressively and the same data will be available in French too.
There are 2 kinds of licences: simple or non-commercial and extended or commercial. Please read carefully which rights are granted by each kind of licence.
Each Euratlas Georeferenced Historical Vector Data set consists of 6 layers provided in Latin-1 and in UTF-8: autonomous peoples, cities, dioceses,
sovereign_countries, holder_countries and provinces. There are also physical layers, without names: rivers, fuzzy_borders, and seas. The mountains are common for all the centuries: 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 3500 meters contour lines. Several Layer Descriptors (SLD) are included for the rivers, countries, dioceses, provinces, seas and mountains. If you purchase a licence in 2008 you will be entitled to receive free updates until November 30, 2009.
