Early Map of Eastern Europe
Early maps often served several purposes. They provided topographical details about a country as well as information about the area in relation to the navigator’s country. This map from about 1600 depicts the maritime commerce of Barcelona, Spain, with the Near East and the area around the Black Sea.
