Old World Map, 1700 - Rare Monochrome Antique Atlas Map, Vintage Wall Art by Paolo Petrini Size:12x16in (30x40cm) first published in 1887This is probably the rarest antique atlas world map that has ever been published.

This variant is even rarer than the handcoloured version. Back in the 1700s, our understanding of the world wasn't quite what it is today. California is an island! There's still no Antarctica
