Before you had a GPS in your pocket, creating a map was a complex art. This is a look into the forgotten world of cartography, revealing challenges and solutions behind the maps that shaped our world.
This is such a useful reminder that accuracy is never one single thing. A map can preserve shape and distort size, or do the opposite. With old maps, the compromise itself becomes part of the story.

Amazing! I am struck by the intelligence, skill and creativity ... and curiosity of decades ago.
Sometimes I ponder just how much satellites and algorithms have diminished the human capacity to think, be creative or be more curious. ...
If possible, there would be a HUGE world map on my biggest wall. Cheers,
