It was often said that Columbus who first discovered the world wasn't flat, but whether this is true or not is debatable. However 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 gorgeous work by Dutch cartographer Jan Janssonius, and his map in conjunction with his brother Henricus Hondius, was completed and published around 1630.
