A Librarian’s World: Sea of Imagination – Monsters and Embellishments on Early European Maps of Southeast Asia
Colourful and decorative, early European maps of Southeast Asia often featured fantastical and distorted images of flora, fauna and people, presumably native to the region. Join Mages as she examines some of these captivating illustrations and, at times, monstrous looking figures found on early maps in the National Library’s collection.
