Description
Ever curious about what lay beyond the horizon, explorers, merchants,
and military forces have for centuries relied upon maps to help them
describe and navigate our planet. Although historical maps were
often skillfully drawn and meticulously plotted, their layout tells only
part of the story. Using anecdotal evidence and sometimes scant
geographical data for places they themselves may never have seen,
cartographers frequently included fanciful or factual drawings to
tease the imagination and the intellect.
