Collection: World Maps
These highly decorative maps also represent significant milestones in exploration as map makers documented the evolution of the 'known' world from a flat-earth 'terra incognita' inhabited by sea monsters.
The gradual emergence of the continent of Australia on the world - from the great south land of 'Terra Australis' and Dutch 'New Holland' to a recognisable continent - provides a fascinating historical narrative when looking at world maps.
Astrological charts and other astronomical maps are also featured in this collection.
