Sebastian C. Adams

A monumental piece of history well worth mentioning; Adams' Illustrated Panorama of History, by Sebastian C. Adams of Salem, Oregon.


This is the third edition of 1878, first edition was published 7 years earlier in 1871. It is gigantic, measuring 27 by 260 inches or 68.58 x 660.4 cm. The panoramic diagram starts in 4004 BC with the creation of Adam and ends in 1878. Adams centers his chart on the Stream of Time which is divided into decades and centuries. This chart is so rich in detail and information that it is all but impossible to fully give it credit here, however, we encourage you to use the zoom engine here to thoroughly appreciate this remarkable document. for more info visit Geograficus.
