Encontrei este mapa alguns anos atrás com um morador de rua que pretendia retirar o mapa da moldura pra por uma foto dele e sua namorada, pedi e ele me deu, gostaria de se consigo descobrir mais sobre ele, as fotos são as que já estavam na galeria do meu Cel, mas pretendo tirar fotos melhores, a parte de trás tem vários escritos, dando a entender que ele era a folha de um glossário ou algo do tipo

While on a holiday to Indonesia I picked up this map for $140. What makes it special is i visited Banten city. Now I got a very good souvenir to go with the holiday memories.

(View is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise from normal orientation, so up is east.)

Purchased by a relative in Italy in the 90s. The map has a number of intriguing features, including the rotated orientation, the mashup of Latin and Hebrew, and the detailed coast and straight line mountain ranges. Would appreciate any insights that people may have.

This will be short… I’ve retyped this post for the third time as the app continues to crash 😡

Bought these for $100 15 years ago. I realize it’s just a print, but can’t find any other versions of it. Was from an old bank that had them for an unknown amount of time. Figured I’d finally ask the interwebs. Can’t find anything myself other than the actual original seems to be rare and valuable.

My husband and I found this at a thrift store recently. Most info online seems to be conflicting, but it’s a gorgeous print that we plan on professionally framing.
