------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Tribute to an atlas Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:06:39 +0200 From: Jan Smits <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship <[log in to unmask]> In June 2012, 135 years after its first publication, the Dutch postal service launched a sheet of 10 stamps, containing 6 editions of the so called "Bosatlas", published between 1877 and 2012; see <http://persons.kb.nl/jsmits/cartifact/netherlands41.html> It is now in its 54th edition under the title "De grote Bosatlas : voor vmbo-havo-vwo" (ISBN 978-90-01-12600-1) and has had many derivatives and foreign editions through the past years. I wonder whether digital publications can/will also be (digitally) honoured in such a way in the future! Jan Smits Koninklijke Bibliotheek, National Library of The Netherlands
