Description
The Fool's Cap World Map which is based on Ortelius's third 'Typus Orbis Terrarum'. This wonderfully nostalgic and somewhat mysterious (not much is known of it's origins) map from the public domain shows a world map within a jester's (or fool's) cap in place of a face. The map is from around 1580 -1590 and has been restored, converted to black and white and has a little hand blended texture.
