【Netherlands】Leeuwarden: The World (1686)


Distance: 9,399 km (5,840 miles)
Travel time: 9 days

This beautiful old map came from Fei, a Chinese student in Netherlands. Though I put maps on the top of my list, few would actually send me one. This is the forth map card I got. So I'm really appreciated.
This world map was drawn in 1686. Author unknown. The small circles respectively stand for the North Pole and the South Pole. There are four corners showing the people and culture of Asia, Africa, America, and Europe in clockwise.
