This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a redrawn map of South-East Asia from Ptolemy's geography, dating back to the 15th century. Preserved within the prestigious British Library's collection, this exquisite manuscript, known as Harley MS 7182, offers us a glimpse into the world of cartography during that era. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship evident in this print transport us to an age where exploration and discovery were at their peak. It serves as a testament to the enduring human curiosity about distant lands and unknown territories. The map provides valuable insights into how early civilizations perceived and understood the vast region we now know as South-East Asia.
