Discover antique maps of the world and its oceans.
Antique maps are maps made over 100 years ago.
They are snapshots in time of our knowledge of the world.
Map making began in earnest in the Age of Exploration. This started in the 15th century.
As explorers roamed the world, they filled in open spaces on maps. As time passed, coastlines and interior details became more accurate.
Antique maps are eye-catching focal points for any room. They have historical and investment value lacking in modern reproductions.
