Spectrum Family Atlas 1974 – Large Format World Atlas – Cold War Map Imagery – Het Spectrum Utrecht/Antwerp

An impressive large Spectrum Family Atlas from the early 1970s, published by Het Spectrum (Utrecht/Antwerp).

This atlas shows the world as it looked during the Cold War. The Soviet Union still exists, many African borders have just been formed, and Europe is still divided. This makes the book not only a geographical reference work but also a historical document.

The maps are richly printed in color with clear relief representation. The atlas contains multiple fold-out plates and an extensive map index. Its generous size of 38 cm makes it a true coffee table atlas – decorative and rich in content.

A beautiful vintage copy for lovers of cartography, history, or interior styling with character.
