Huge!

Visited David Rumsey Map Correction. This is one of the largest private map collections in the United States. With over 150,000 historical maps, the collection’s primary focus is the cartography of the 18th and 19th Centuries. This is the SL version. The size is amazing! It uses four full SIMs around which many maps are exhibited. The map terrain covering the entire region is a map of Yosemite.

There is a map along the road of Japan. The scroll is unrolled on the ground. Unfortunately I cannot read the old characters. I can see that the start is Edo (old Tokyo) and the midpoint is Kyoto, but I cannot see the destination. I looked after the original but was not able to find. This one is also huge, with length of 160m.




I am not crazy about old maps and interested in the gallery utilizing glasses, that is of some help for rebuilding my gallery. Digitization of the map library began in 1997; currently there are over 17.000 high resolution images of the maps, available for free at the above URL. Copyrights are reserved but images may be reproduced or transmitted, but not for commercial use.

There was a picture of Grand Canyon. Unfortunately seams of the texture are obvious, but the size is amazing. The width is more than 280m! The picture below is only a part of it but you can see the size comparing with me floating at low middle. This is the largest painting I ever saw in SL. I had meant to put some wall paintings on my gallery but gave up after seeing this huge one.
