Willard's Guide to the Temple of Time was a universal history textbook for schools, written by Emma Willard and published in New York and Cincinnati in 1849. Its pictures are small, plain engraved maps with dense lettering and dotted boundary lines, showing regions such as the Baltic, the Caliphate, the Roman Empire and Central Europe. A designer might borrow their antique cartographic linework, compass-free layouts and framed printed-page composition.
