In 1450, Venetian monk Fra Mauro created what cartography experts say may be the first known “modern” world map. Two hundred fifty years later, a copy was made that now resides in the cartographic collection of the British Library.

As Brain Pickings’ Maria Popova notes, this global depiction was created during the golden age of display maps, “the period between 1450 and 1800, when maps were as much a practical tool for navigation as they were works of art and affirmations of cultural hegemony or social status.”
