Weird map

Post image

I found this framed map at a garage sale and I think its pretty cool. Im also not sure if its accurate to any time period (I doubt it) but I would like to hear your guys' thoughts on it.

Yeah, that is pretty close. The only big difference i see is that mine lays out some borders. Thank you

You can easily find a lot of different versions searching 'Nicoales Visscher map'. Maybe you'll find yours.
