For #MapMonsterMonday, here’s a #map I drew for The Drinnglennin Chronicles series. 🐉
How many #mapmonsters can you count?
🔎 Can you spot the sea monsters? This 'Map of the world showing Drake's voyage' was printed in 1600 and features many mythical creatures and ships. #MonsterMappyMonday #MapMonsters

Estou com uma vontade danada de colocar uns monstrinhos nesse mar... #mapmonsters #mapas #maps #ArcGis
Love is in the air! 💕 Even among the #MapMonsters and merpeople on this ~1638 #map of Africa. #MapMonsterMonday #Valentine https://t.co/IwbT3SaO4M
Now that’s a seahorse! These mythical #MapMonsters appear in the Oceanus Aethiopicus on a 1630 #map of Africa. “Oceanus Aethiopicus” is often used in classical geographic works to identify the southern half of the Atlantic Ocean. #MapMonsterMonday https://t.co/65C0bK67o5
Lions and elephants and unicorns... Oh my! These #MapMonsters appear on a 1668 “most exact map of Europe” by English cartographer and #map publisher John Overton. #MapMonsterMonday https://t.co/OuAqqvfoUf
#MapMonsterMonday or the Sunday scaries? These 4 spooky #MapMonsters appear along the coast of today’s Narragansett Bay on this ~1565 map of northeastern North America. https://t.co/zMxKoqWVAX
We're all set, bags are packed, for our #pacsclaroundtheworld voyage! First stop on our list is Iceland - we hear the marine life is a real sight to see!
This map of Iceland is from Abraham Ortelius's Theatrum obris terrarum (1595).

This map really has it all! Featuring everything from Poseidon, Centaurs, and the mighty mythical Unicorn 🦄🦄.
Titled 'Superstitions of the Middle Ages', this 1930’s piece is a real 'Where's Wally?’ of cryptid cartography.

Constellations aren’t always easy to identify (teapot or sparkly blob?) and in this case we’re glad. For actual stargazers, Hydra is less of a realistic hungry space serpent and more Snake from your vintage Nokia phone. 🐍 ✨

We have questions about this buff giraffe, found milling around China on a 1596 Dutch map in our collections. Are there other, local giraffes? Are they drawn to scale? What's their fave post-workout snack? 📷: https://t.co/8VvdQSMvor 🦒 🏋️

The afternoon has started with #mapmonsters from Manon Turban and Herman Moll maps from Alex Zukas. They both discuss the narrative quality of maps. @seaa1718 #mapsandmapping @HakluytSociety
Random #highlight from website: Giacomo Gastaldi's "Seconda tavola" (Venice, 1565).
Most accurate #map of #India and #PersianGulf available at the time.

#OnThisDay in 1527 the cartographer Abraham Ortelius was born. Compiler of the first modern atlas, we have *his own* copy of a book about sea-creatures. We wonder if that's where all the #MapMonsters come from?
@whitdurham Here are some more #Mapmonsters of our collection. Beautiful maps with #seacreatures and #monsters https://t.co/duF8ixbT9A
These #mapmonsters have all applied to be a part of our #NEHsummer Landmarks of American History and Culture workshop! If you, like them, are a teacher looking to incorporate maps into your classroom, apply here: https://t.co/DzK4eUMg1C Deadline is March 1st!

Walton, Visscher, & Blaeu. 1658.
@imo_weg @PintOfHistory @MapCurator Ooh, we have lots to choose from and we love our #mapmonsters! There's a fab crowd on Bertelli's 1570 world map (https://t.co/RpwqNmsKFh) and Ptolemy's Atlas has some beauties (https://t.co/mrUF9CFoaz)
