The timechart is based on an original Victorian wall chart published in 1890 that begins with divine creation and traces the past up to to current events. It follows the entire history of mankind and shows what was happening concurrently around the world with illustrations of many major events, discoveries and prominent people. While maintaining the Victorian design, the chart has been updated and extended so that the time of stream continues into the twenty first century, right up to the present day. There are maps and charts, and on the reverse of the timechart, there is a vast store of extra information on the different nations' rulers and dynasties. This sixth edition of this title is completely revised and updated with improved illustrations to the stream of time. Country panels have all been updated with latest USA Presidential changes and Presidents of Republics and Royalty. New gatefold flap with significant historical events has been inserted into the text.
