Antique map geographica

It was Columbus who first discovered the world wasn’t flat but it was the amazingly skilled cartographers of the day who were the first to show the world as we now know it to be: round. Antique Map Geographica is a voyage of delightful discovery. The highly detailed map of the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia are amazingly accurate for the time. It shows the tremendous dedication that early cartographers had to their craft. Their maps were used by early explorers and an incorrect shoreline could spell disaster for ship and crew. As with most maps of the time, famed explorers and other artistic touches are included with the map, so you not only get a sense of place, but time as well.
