Next, Willem Blaeu’s 1635 map of Europe is a masterpiece of the Dutch Golden Age of cartography.

Richly decorated with city views, coats of arms, and sea monsters. 🧭

First up is this LoFi Japanese World Map from 1940 by Tadayoshi Fuchida 🇯🇵

This historical map shows the world from Japan’s perspective during WWII. Notice how Japan sits at the center?
