Happy Sunday! Enjoy your day wherever you are! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The idea is not to live forever, but to create something that will. - Andy Warhol - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maps have been around forever! Cartography, the art and science of making maps, has been part of human history for thousands of years. Old maps have the magic of taking us back in time and see the birth of the modern world.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The oldest know world map the Imago Mundi was chiselled on a clay tablet in ancient Babylon in 6 B.C. Ancient Greeks in 4 B.C had similar maps though they correctly believed that the earth was not flat, but a sphere. The First reasonably accurate world map was drawn by hand on paper by Gerardus Mercator, a Flemish geographer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyone else loves old maps? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳We have a beautiful collection on our website.
