AGS Around the World Program: Series Overview (1950s)

Welcome to the series overview for the American Geographical Society's Around the World Program, a wonderful set of books published in the 1950s discussing various countries across the globe. How I acquired this set is discussed in my first post, but as I've now added all ten volumes in my possesion, it's now time to give all these posts a hub for the many links associated with these illustrations. From now on, this will be the starting point for the Around the World Program books, and should I acquire more, I'll add them here as well.

AGS Around the World Program: Book Covers (1950s)

Here's a round-up post of all the covers from the American Geographical Society Around the World Program books. Clearly done by the same illustrator, these covers unfortunately have no credit as to who did these magnificent maps. Feel free to read my first post on the AGS Around the World Program if you'd like more information about these books and where they came from. Enjoy these wonderful illustrations and click through for full-sized images.
