Art. A map of the Mediterranean basin overlayed on top of a medieval mappa mundi (map of the world. The modern map is transparent, so you can see through the water and land to see the medieval map underneath. The medieval map shows the whole world (from a particular medieval geographic perspective, with Christ standing behind the world and looming over it. He is flanked by angels, which is more than I can say for myself.
Playing around with something over lunch today: a medieval / modern map mashup.
The medieval map here is the 13th C. Psalter map, and the modern map is one I drew. I'm not trying to make them line up geographically...I just like the juxtaposition.
