A hand-drawn and painted map of Greenwich Village (or part of it), made for the Central Savings Bank in 1934. Tony Sarg, who created it, was a member of the Salmagundi Club, and the original still hangs in the club's headquarters at 47 Fifth Avenue, between 11th and 12th Streets.

Experts Restore Largest Known Early World Map, Complete With Unicorns, Lizard People, And Mermen

The hand-drawn map was created 430 years ago by Urbano Monte. Centuries later, collector David Rumsey and his nephew have painstakingly scanned and digitally stitched together all 60 pages previously bound in an atlas, completing the map for the first time as it was originally intended.

At 10 foot square, this map or planisphere is the largest known early map of the world. It was hand drawn by Monte in Milan, Italy, and only one other manuscript copy exists.

A giant bird carries away an elephant in one portion of the map. Although as the scale of the illustrations are not consistent, it could be a normal-sized bird carrying away a tiny elephant. David Rumsey. 

A unicorn, several devils, and a lizard man roam across the land in this colorful depiction of Siberia. David Rumsey. The whole of the map can be viewed on David Rumsey's blog, as well as a video of the map projected onto a globe using Google Earth.

So this will be the last patreon news for a little while as I shall actually have to turn my attention to putting it all together BUT..... as part of the patreon experience I will be streaming a dnd campaign. Thought I’d share with you the map I drew of the world. I toyed with whether this was appropriate for a musician to do, but frankly I just want to do the things I love. DND and music are both a part of that. I are big nerd that sing song. Fiddle-Dee-Dee Disasters

Grand Map of the World

We are delighted to announce our second hand-drawn map, Grand Map of the World, is finally complete! We've been diligently working on this for over three years.

About the map

Based on the familiar Robinson projection, Grand Map of the World is exceptionally detailed and replete with natural and man-made landmarks, peoples and cultures, wildlife, vegetation, ships, and mythical sea creatures. The side panels depict people in traditional dress from around the world.

With interesting travel times, hints of what one might find in each country, and chronicles of the greatest adventurers in history, this map is a constant invitation to set off for new lands.

You can purchase the map at www.wellingtonstravel.com
