I love old maps and stories that accompany them. Especially the cartographic style. Infact, I've been wanting to post some stories on Steemit too! In today's world of satellite mapping and GIS, we've lost the charm that comes with the rendering styles and colours of old maps.
I love how the purpose of this map was to map religious tribes but the appearance of a part of what we know as Australia today is seen! It would also be interesting to add at which point Australia appeared on the map as we know it today.
Love your work!
A some point, I will post a map showing the earliest account of Europeans (the Dutch) mapping a portion of Australia, which they thought was Guinea.
To your earlier point, I exhibit at the American Association of Geographers (AAG) conference. My booth is always slammed with people in the field of GIS that have never seen the old maps.
