A Sampler of Artistic Embellishments on Classic Maps
1565, Forlani, LOC
Compiled by Mike Slate December 2014 First Edition
Introduction The following are selections from the online cartographic resources of the Library of Congress (LOC), featuring embellished maps from 1507 to 1759. Under each map’s heading—composed of publication date, attributed author, and source—users will find a link (URL) that will lead directly to the map on the LOC website, where the map can be greatly enlarged. Images of the full maps are also included herein, under which enlarged artistic elements are featured. Note that although antique maps are generally no longer under copyright protection, each user must necessarily decide whether to seek permission for republication and how to attribute items properly.
