I understand the shortcomings of some of these works and seek only their artistic value. If you would like something to be added to the list, let me know.
I am specifically looking for works from a similar timeframe as the ones listed below (predominantly because the copyright has long since expired); if some are particularly interesting to me, regardless of the date of creation, then I will include them.
I will try to find the highest quality versions of each chart/timeline/map and provide a link to that version. I don't know if I will be able to include the highest resolution version within this page, and I don't want to test those limits; therefore, I will find a version that is of lower quality for use in this page. I apologize if it takes a while to load.
There is no particular order.
Adams Synchronological Chart or Map of History by Sebastian C. Adams
There was a later edition of this chart that replaced much of the text and images at the left-hand portion with maps and added a geological chart of the Earth at the end, all of which were drawn by Edward Hull. If anyone can provide a scan of that version, I'd appreciate it very much.

It appears as though two of the Histomaps aren't loading at all. I would like to know if that is a problem specific to me or if it's universal.
