In case you were under the impression that this was a real map and not a hand drawn version of a map of Italy, you would be mistaken. If you take a closer look you can see that this is all hand drawn with a pen. All of the individual lines and dots and the utter and complete perfection of this are quite shocking. How long did it take to make this?
It must have been pretty satisfying to complete this map in the end. It is so beautiful and perfect, it is truly a piece of art that should be hung up and put on display.
