Old Europe

This map was taken from a Spanish art website found by Google Images. It is an old map of Europe and how it used to look. The map shows rivers and mountains, as well as distinct borders between land masses by using different colors and shades. It also labels various features and places. It is very interesting to view a map that was created back in time. Not only is it intriguing to see what an area used to look like but also the different styles and mapping techniques used at this time. Though I could not find the exact date of when the map was created, it is obviously either extremely old or simply wrong because Europe does not look exactly like this in contemporary maps.
