Bacon Chart of Useful Knowledge antique print reproduction.

Bacon’s Chart of Useful Knowledge is a late 19th-century educational wall chart combining a world map with flags, national costumes, famous buildings, astronomical diagrams, rulers, battles, mountains, and other reference facts. Its colorful lithographic style turns geography and general knowledge into a dense visual encyclopedia for classroom or home study.

The chart was published under the Bacon name, associated with British mapmaker and publisher G. W. Bacon & Co., known for popular maps, atlases, and instructional prints. Their works made geography accessible to broad audiences, blending practical information with decorative Victorian design.
