Description
Extremely scarce and impressive second edition of “Chronological Chart of Ancient, Modern and Biblical History” created and published 1876 by Presbyterian missionary Sebastian C. Adams with lithography by Strobridge & Co. This monumental 23-foot long scroll consists of 21 fully illustrated color chromolithographic panels, the whole laid down on linen as one continuous layout. The chart depicts nearly 5,900 years of history through an astounding array of exceptional illustrative and graphic techniques created by Prof. J. A. Paine, archaeologist of the first expedition of the Palestine Exploration Society. This piece is like reading the whole of history in a museum-like diorama; it graphically depicts the history of mankind from 4004 BC, the biblical beginning of man, up to the time of publication. Many reliable and historic sources were consulted during its creation, including Herodotus, Thucydides, Pliny the Elder, Tacitus and Edward Gibbon. What is truly amazing is that the lacquer surface of the scroll is wholly without crazing or cracking. There are several small tears or frayed areas of the supporting linen edge, but they are few and far between. There are perhaps half a dozen small edge tears, but they do little to detract from the power and beauty of this remarkable piece. In general, it would have to be regarded as Very Good Plus, with the condition of the surface, coloring and linen backing of surprising soundness. There are a few vertical creases at the extreme left end of the scroll. 22’4” x 28”.
