Nick,

The only graphic that I know of for this map is Figure 1.30 on Page 40
of 'Flattening the Earth: Two Thousand Years of Map Projections' by John
Parr Snyder.

I have a 'Modern' rendition of this map here:
http://www3.ftss.ilstu.edu/microcam/map_projections/index.html

Note that the B/W Outline Map 'PDF' graphics at this web site, I am
building, are ALL 300 DPI and in Landscape. They are intended to be
printed from the browser at your printer's best resolution. They can
also be Imported into newer versions of Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator
and these draw programs will treat them as vector.

The map graphics (presently 214) are organized Alphabetically and in the
manner of Snyder, but I will eventually (after about 125 graphics left
to do) set up menus for the 'Lee promoted' representation/graticule
groups, Parametric Classification, and Geometric Classification.

- Thanks,
Paul B. Anderson FCCS (USN, Retired)
