The World's Largest Hand-Drawn Map - Apparently.
The Megalomap, created by John Ogilby, a British cartographer, is a massive hand-drawn map of Ireland. Measuring over 15 feet tall and 12 feet wide, it took Ogilby and his team over 18 months to complete in 1672. The intricate map, featuring detailed illustrations and geographical information, was originally created for King Charles II and is now preserved at the British Library. Its remarkable scale and craftsmanship make it a remarkable example of 17th-century cartography.
