The antiquated cartographer

This post’s title just sounds like a Casanova-like, monocle-wearing gentleman- but really it’s about a great site I stumbled upon (via StumbleUpon), simply known as (and I quote only about 1/4 of the shit between the <title> tags):

Antique Maps, Old maps, Vintage Maps, Antique Atlases, Old Atlases,antique maps, old maps, vintage maps, antique atlases, old atlases, vintage atlases, antique charts, old charts, vintage charts,antique sea charts, old sea charts, vintage sea charts,antique maps of America, antique maps of the world, antique maps of Asia, antique maps of Australia, antique maps of Africa, antique maps of Europe,antique America maps, antique world maps, antique Asia maps, antique Australia maps, antique Africa maps, antique Europe maps,old maps of America, old maps of the world, old maps of Asia, old maps of Australia, old maps of Africa

Ridiculously self-explanatory, inn’it?

And what’s what, most of them are for sale. However, if you don’t want to drop an undisclosed amount on a flimsy piece of ancient parchment detailed with out-of-date borders and laughable proportions, you can always click-to-see the high-res scans/photos of each map, and download/print at your leisure.
