This map is based on a 1565 world map by Paolo Forlani, "Vniversale descrittione di tvtta la terra conoscivta fin qvi," itself based on an earlier map by Giacomo Gastaldi. Converted to CTP2 format by Scott Nickell (with help from the bmptoctp2 program).

The original map can be viewed online at http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/gmd:@field(NUMBER+@band(g3200+mf000070))
