Ahoy /hr/.Im looking for other high res maps of the world, the one I have provided doesnt quite meet the quality required as Im looking to print it out on A2 or A1.Im looking for the kind of old world maps that you would expect the original explorers to make and carry on their ships, pirate maps with "thar be sea dragons here" and such are fine too.If anyone could post any it would be greatly appreciated, colour and black and white are both fine.
>>263196This is really cool, but not quite what I'm after.
>>263205something like this -> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/World_Map_1689.JPG ? (19.56 MB)
have a chinese map
>>263207Jesus titty fucking christ, my computer cant handle that image.Im thinking more along the lines of this (pic related) only less blurry so it will look closer to the genuine article once printed.Although I just might download that pic at some point.
>>263256This one is pretty awesome, but why the strange moire pattern?
>>263268something to do with the scan I guess.It's part of the Piri Reis map.
another version
and another
The much debated Vinland Map
Great, thanks.Now I must sleep, heres hoping this thread is still here when I wake.
Am I doing this correctly?
>>263423
I'm not sure if you're interested in this or not. It's from a 1911 historical atlas. At any rate, I haven't seen it in /hr/ before, so maybe someone else would like it.
>>263429And this one's from 1820 but sadly has a large crease down the middle.
>>263431And a 1598 map split up into 2 hemispheres. Enjoy.

OP here, back from nap time.Thanks for all the pics. I'm still not sure Ive found what I'm exactly looking for, but these are all still great.
are these the droids you are looking for?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantino_planispherehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fra_Mauro_map
Ok, I know the Fra Mauro map is already high res, but is there any bigger than that? It's awesome.

great pics!
>>263627U POSTED IT UPSIDE DOWN
To the egyptians south was "up". Most of the mountain ranges drawn confirm this too. I can't read the language though, but it does seem to be the right way too
