Were there any coins or gems found with the map? That bastard Blaeu still owes me money.

Likewise, maps are fascinating, it amazes me how accurate old maps are.

Agreed. If you take satellite images and match against older maps, it is extraordinary. Blaeu maps are also attractive. imo

The Kartographer's Pledge

"Maps I'll find for you many old and rare.
Maps will I seek for you of lands both dark and fair.
Maps for you, would I pursue.
Maps you could follow should you dare to choose to.
Maps I will glean for you of lands some have never seen,
and places you may visit if only in dream."
