Keywords: Carte Pisane Jomard.png Artist Carte Pisane redrawing redraw in mid 19th century print near original chart book in several libraries worldwide see below book by Jomard PD-old-100 Other versions This image was composed by several DIN A3 sized copies from the large folio book of Jomard from the mid 19th century But such photocopies have distortions in the length / wide ration They did not match together in a very good way I tried to fix it but that effort had some limit Everywhere a cut or separation in the lines is visible it is due to my composition The original of Jomard is perfect I checked the remaining distortion by the circles and found it below 0 4 of the radius That is still about the value the best map projections fit some portolans So for high accuracy work think whether you can get a better copy from Jomards book A good digital camera may not be able to do it any better but a direct scan with professional equipment may well do I checked the Jomard redrawing with high resolution photos of the Carte Pisane and found it of very good quality Maps of the Mediterranean Basin
