An Italian map of Ireland from c. 1560 by Financial_Change_183 Tags:ireland 17 comments Looks upside down Petition to refer to people from Munster as momos Why Dublin on the west coast? We seem to have our own Purgatory around Waterford. I wonder what happened to the cartographer there? Cartographers from back then were fantastic, to even get vaguely the correct shape was pretty special considering the tools they had. Think they might have been on the vino when placing a couple of the towns/cities or locals fed them duff information. At least they spelt Drogheda quite close to how it’s pronounced in its accent. For those confused, left hand side is east, right is west. Part of Britain can be seen to the left borders of the photo. So a potatoe. Cork on top 💪💪💪 I see they included Arranmore island, goat Island etc. In Donegal. Armacana Metrop = Armagh City, Arglas must mean Ardglas. Reminds me of my drawing of Ireland for junior cert and leaving cert geography. Ah yeah basically a rectangle. All hail Kildaria! Vltonia Abú Hibernia- land of winter Armagh should be permanently re-named to Armacana Metrop, much cooler. Love the representation of Clew Bay. They obviously paid the $20 dollar membership fee.
