Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Gorgeous! A similar style exists of Maastricht. ~~I'll check later if I can find it~~.

Okay, there are other maps that have a similar style, but I was thinking of this one made by Blaeu and his son[^otherversions].

[^otherversions]: The folder I found it in on Wikimedia with other versions and crops.
