Googling the titles sometimes brings up links to map vendors or digitized map websites with images of the very maps - or something similar - to what you have in hand.

Subject: Please help me identify



Can you assist me in identifying two maps I recently bought at auction.  We would like to add them to our archives, but have no idea about their age or provenance.  One is labeled extreme oriente and the other desde el finisterre al oceano glacial artico .  Both have gold leaf on t hem.  Any assistance or information you could give would be great.  I don' know how to attach images to this form.  If there is a way to send images to the list please let me know....
