Why this chart

23 feet long. Starting from Adam and Eve.

The third edition sharpens the reproduction, but the streams, the lifespan bars, and the Victorian lettering are Adams' own. What you hold is what an educated American saw in 1871.

Good to know
Format, content and shipping details.
Both. It's one continuous chart, accordion-folded between hard covers. Open a single panel at the table, or stretch the full 23 feet across a room, then fold it back into book form when you're done.
Yes. The chart follows Biblical chronology from 4004 B.C. and sets it side by side with the histories of Egypt, Assyria, Greece, Rome, China and more. It reflects Sebastian Adams' 1871 view of history, not a modern scholarly timeline.
Both. Families can start from familiar names and events and follow the streams outward, while adults can dig into the detail on their own. The small print and Victorian wording mean younger children will get the most out of it with a grown-up alongside.
Yes. Zoom into the product photos to see the original 1871 lettering, illustrations and colored streams in detail.
