Early modern mapmakers treated a map as equal parts science and art, filling the blank spaces of uncharted ocean with sea monsters and elaborate cartouches in order to turn a practical document into something worth hanging. The Antique Maps 2027 Wall Calendar from The Gifted Stationery Co. reproduces twelve of those maps across roughly four centuries of work, from a sixteenth-century world map that still shows California as an island to a nineteenth-century railway plan that looks as much like a painting as a guide. The printing is careful enough to hold the parchment texture and the hand-lettered place names, which is where much of the pleasure of an antique map actually sits. Each month invites a slower kind of looking.
