ATLAS IN WONDERLAND

No that's not Tom Thumb standing over there doing the mid-life-crisis 'Robot' dance - what we've got here is the world's largest atlas.  It's pretty massive, and unless you're lying to yourself and you're of the size-isn't-everything opinion, it's pretty impressive! Even in today's modern age, only a few printers in the world can even contemplate this mammoth task. However, with all that being said, I still think that the previous record holder's atlas is much more amazing, as their map was created over 350 years ago without the aid of modern technology.
