Info The Cantino planisphere, completed by un unknown Portuguese cartographer in 1502, is one of the most precious cartographic monuments of all times. It depicts the world, as it became known to the European after the great exploration voyages of the end of the fifteenth and beggining of the sixteenth century to the Americas, Africa and India. It is now kept in the Biblioteca Universitaria Estense, Modena, Italy -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:22, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support great educational/historical value, high resolution scan (at least in comparison to File:CantinoPlanisphere.png). --El Grafo (talk) 08:53, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Info: I changed the license tag from {{PD-old}} to {{PD-Scan|PD-old-100}} to also catch the copyright status in the US. If you think that {{PD-Scan}} is not necessary here, please feel free to remove it. If you know a template that fits the file better than {{PD-old-100}} please feel free to replace it (something like {{PD-anon-auto-1996}} maybe? I'm a bit confused …). --El Grafo (talk) 09:34, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
