Most timelines represent
world history from a Protestant view, breezing over early church fathers and other people
and events that receive greater attention in Catholic history texts.
This timeline set
includes most figures you find in other timelines plus those of especial interest to
Catholics.
Brightly-colored,
heavy-duty paper is cut into strips to mount on the wall. The 700+ figures are engravings,
drawings, and photos, mostly from out-of-print resources. Some more recent historical
event photos taken by a White House photographer have been included by special
permission.
Each picture (approx. 2”
x 2”) is labeled with names or events and dates on the front and contain more information
on the back. These are printed with black ink on white card stock, and they may be colored
in with soft colored pencils, although it isn't necessary, for a nicer appearance (and a
fun project), and can either be placed on the timeline strips or used as flash
cards.
The book provides a chart for how to arrange all the
strips of paper so that there is enough room for the hundreds of black and white images of
people and events which will comprise the bulk of the timeline.
There are separate sections in the book timeline for
U.S. Presidents and the Popes to make the book easier to use, but they are designed to be
blended into the same timeline for your family.
