Les voyages extraordinaires de Jules Verne

Map from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (thumbnail) Garmt de Vries’s Jules Verne Collection has several pages of interest to us:

  • The Maps from the Voyages Extraordinaires, a collection of scans from the original (French) editions of Jules Verne’s novel (Verne apparently didn’t invent a geography for his books; he placed his imaginary places and voyages on the real map);
  • Other, “unofficial” maps, mostly from foreign-language editions; and
  • A form that locates places and travels from Verne’s novels on a world map.
