An old map of Bruges in Belgium.
Christmas day is rapidly getting closer, and I still have some presents to finish and an apartment to clean up. If you’re still looking for a gift that can be hung on a wall, then why not an old map? Then all you need is a good printer, and maybe a frame for the map to hang in. Old Maps Online is a good place to find old maps. You can search by location, and also filter by date range and attributes, so it is easy to find, say, a map of Norway from the 1700s. With the few maps I tried it was possible to export the map in good enough resolution to fill a poster. I like looking at older maps and think that someone spent days drawing all the details. Here’s an example of what can be found there. It is not just one, but seven puzzle maps of different continents. With a little time you could glue it to some cardboard and cut it out along the lines to get a set of old puzzle maps.
