The map is divided in 3×3 sheets with the dimension 55x40 cm (height×width) because they were used in the printing process to transfer it onto a wood carved stamps. The notes on the map in Latin were translated by Olaus himself into the
Italian and
German language. Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus (Rome, 1555) is a much larger commentary on the map.

Support. I can't find any compression artifacts or faults in the scan.--

Support Very enc., quality scan, and always nice to add an image that's not another animal or panorama. --

Support 100% enc. (Personal memory: This image is familiar, it was a wallpaper in the room that housed the
optical printer I used to work with in the 1980s - you can see the compass rose and the ship & monster behind the printer...) --

If you mean at upper left corner, no, that's the southern tip of
Greenland. Mid-left are the
Hebrides. They didn't have
GPS in those days... --

Support - What do you all think about lightening it? Would it take away from the "old-look" which is surely encyclopedic in this case? A version with this tonality might be more pleasant on the main page (has full dynamic range, but a bit less muddy):

support the original: great image.

Tentative Weak Oppose this version - I'm not convinced this is as good as it could be; to my eyes it looks just a little gloomy. Support lightened version by Debivort. Also, does anyone know if it's possible to get hold of the text from the box at the bottom left? I think it would make a relevant addition to the article and/or caption, but it's too small to read in the scan. --

Comment re brightness. The first version of
Image:Carta Marina.jpeg is in a brighter version.
link, 3.2 MB I think the colors of that version look better, but it is in a lower resolution, 2508×1857, compared to the other that has 5016×3715. /
