Support - Lovely map in good condition. I don't recommend spending much time looking at it in full size, because that's clearly larger than life size and not how the illustrations are meant to be seen. 1280/1020 is a good size to look at. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:14, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice map but... the names of some countries are out of step with the date of the Map... Mexico was not Mexico in those days... nor Italy, to name a few... or am I wrong? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 01:47, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment good point, I also stumbled upon these terms. Well, one could argue that they sometimes seem to refer to socio-geographical rather than political entities in the narrow sense --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:39, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The nation-states did not come to be until the 1800s. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:29, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment of course they didn't. The terms, however, are much older (cf. Latin Italia, Germania) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:38, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
