When checking a particular region, do not forget the Large General Sites.     If you need to read the place-names, insist on 'high res.'

For catalogues of images see also the equivalent pages in Web articles and commentaries on specific topics in the History of Cartography

You can search across all the pages in the Web Images section (and, indeed, across the entire site).

Notes on image quality:-
  • high resolution, enabling every place-name to be easily read - search for: high res.
  • medium resolution, enabling some names to be read but not the smaller ones
  • low resolution, with almost all the names illegible
  • 'slow loading' refers to the experience with a standard 56K modem
