As a kid these types of old world maps would fascinate me as they weren't like maps that we know today which are formed through precise sattelite photography data, they had to be captured by a lot of guess work and exact illustrations of land structures and this Antique map of the world in 1660 is a reflection of the times back then, you can check out other map posters here.
And what's quite notable about these old antique maps is that they are designed with illustration in mind with the designs around the map as back then they thought the world was round, which it is not really when you factor in gravity!
