#AdventWorldMap day 23. Happy Christmas Eve Eve! Just one more map to share with you: a beautiful star chart from an 1801 celestial atlas by Bode. He depicted more than 100 constellations, compared with 88 officially recognized today ✨

With Floe’s visit from @natlibscot, thoughts turned to our feathered friends. Another of Johnston’s 1848 zoological maps fills that European gap in our #AdventWorldMap. Love this diagram of #birds of the Alps (but Floe was more intrigued by the penguin)

This 1862 map shows the very beginnings of Antarctic exploration. That point James Weddell reached in 1823 was the farthest south a ship had ever been. 88 years later - #otd - Amundsen became the first person to reach the South Pole.

On #InternationalAnimalRightsDay, details from an 1848 Zoological Map. Published 10 years before Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of the Species’, they show what Europeans knew of the world's fauna in the mid 19th century.
