First Internet Maps Showcased On New Poster From Peacock
Maps
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A new wall poster
reproducing nine historic "first maps" of the Internet was
published today by Peacock Maps, Inc., a Washington D.C.
area company.
"It's a unique poster" said Martin Dodge, Peacock's Director
of Research, "because it brings together some of the most
important original and often hand drawn diagrams and maps
made by the Internet's inventors from 1964 to 1988."
The images shown on the poster were also selected for their
artistic value, Dodge said. "We wanted to tell the story of
the Internet's early years in maps, but in a way that would
appeal to people new to the Internet as well as to
tech-savvy networking engineers."
The maps and diagrams on Peacock's new poster have
historical significance too, explained Dodge. "They chart
the layout of several pioneering packet data networks that
no longer exist and document the vision of the Internet's
founders."
The poster can be viewed and ordered online for $29.95 +
shipping at http://www.peacockmaps.com
The Peacock web site also provides detailed information
about each of the original maps on the poster and has
numerous links to resources about the history of the
Internet.
Peacock Maps is a Washington D.C. area poster company
specializing in Internet themes. The company's "Whole
Internet" posters have been sold in more than 30 countries
and have been featured in articles by the New York Times,
Canadian Geographic, Paris Match, Mercator's World and other
publications.
