A tracing and coloring book on the theme of world history. The pictures show buildings and landscapes from the stages of history, things linked to royal families, folk costumes and tools, and the fashions of each age. The scenes run from the age of fossils and dinosaurs through human history. The Parthenon, the Ishtar Gate of Babylon, Cleopatra and Joan of Arc all appear, and every picture comes with an explanation.
The drawings are printed in pale lines. You trace the main lines, as if sketching a scene from history, and then color the picture. Postcards and mini cards are included at the back of the book. They can be traced and colored, or given away as line art.
This is the third book in Eriy's Sekai Isshu Nazorigaki series, which covers cities, buildings, nature, festivals, history, food, clothing and everyday goods from around the world.
