The Maps of Tibet 2008 wall calendar features rare images of Tibet through the ages in painting and cartography. The maps come from a time in which maps were an art form as well as political representations of shifting dynasties and empires. Antique thangka paintings of Tibetan cities and monasteries illustrate Tibet's unique architecture and culture, while the maps show Tibet's long history as an independent or autonomous state. Your purchase of this calendar provides funds for the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT), which works to promote human rights and democratic freedoms for the people of Tibet and helps promote awareness about Tibet during this crucial period in its history. Founded in 1988, ICT is a non-profit membership organization with offices worldwide. To find out more, or become a member, go to www.savetibet.org.
