This is the most important map of Girolamo Ruscelli's 1561 - 1564 edition Ptolemy: the earliest acquirable iteration of Nicoló Zeno's 1558 Carta Da Navegar De Nicolo et Antonio Zeni Furono In Tramontana Lano MCCCLXXX, revealing the alleged 14th-century voyages of Zeno's ancestors, Nicoló and Antonio. Zeno's fraud, likely intended to enhance his political power in Venice and later embraced to co-opt the 1492 Columbia discovery of America, was responsible for the initial appearance and subsequent tenacity of the apocryphal islands Frisland, Icaria, Drogeo, and the coastline of Estotiland, which was taken by some of Europe's finest geographers to be the coast of Labrador.

This is Carl Ritter and Heinrich Mahlmann's 1839 map of the Altay region of central Asia. This map was compiled at a time when Europeans knew little of this region, but compiles the tracks of European explorers who, between 1771 and 1829, explored the mountainous region. It represents a revolutionary amalgam of explorers' accounts and speculation expounded through the lens of Ritter's German Romantic theories of the Earth as a 'cosmic individual'. (more details)
