Description
In 1881 Sebastian C. Adams drew 6,000 years of Bible and world history as a single stream of time, about 23 feet long. Patriarchs, kings, prophets and empires run side by side, so you can see at a glance who lived when. The folding chart is beautiful but hard to study: too long for any table, with lettering too small to read. This edition opens it page by page.
