Карта Птолемея

Ptolemy's 1st European Map (Descriptio Primae Tabulae Europae): Albion (Great Britain) and Hibernia (Ireland). Note that the source claims that this is from Berlinghieri's Seven Days of Geography, but that work was in Italian and used Marinus's equirectangular projection rather than Ptolemy's trapezoidal one. The work seems to have been mislabeled at some point, or maps from another Ptolemy added to the Berlinghieri.

Reason: its maker died more than 100 years ago, and a faithful scan of a flat work adds no new copyright.

This status rests on the map's publication history, as researched by Wikimedia Commons. Check it before commercial use.
