I like maps, especially old maps.
Like this, circa 1616, when California belonged to Spain, and the main area was called "Nova Granada"
Or this one, from a french map of the world, circa 1688, where is possible to see my hometown in Chile, Baldivia (currently called "Valdivia")
Finally, this is a map of Belgium and it has an artistic bias, as you can see the country depicted as a Lion. I couldn't find the exact year it was done, but there are some references to governors and the most recent one is from 1623.
Does any reader like maps, too?
