I've actually just been reading a lot of history books recently and wanted to check out some old bibles. I found this and was absolutely floored. The detail in the artwork is amazing, check out the map on page 75!

You can really see the jpeg artifacts on that map if you zoom in enough to really read the smaller location names. It’s too bad that they used that much compression on it.
It's muuch better if you download it rather than view it in their web tool.

Edit: ahh yeah I just went to try checking out the map, pretty tough to read those tiny names :(
