Greetings all,
Recently one of our students scanned a facsimile of our 1452 Leardo map
and added information otherwise only available in a brochure. The text
helps explain a few of the features depicted on this unique world map.
If you're interested in seeing the image, please feel free to take a
look here:

You can further click on the various letters for a "zoomed-in" view.
Enjoy!
