Hi everyone,

 

Saw the following yesterday.  Try and enlarge the image as far as you can, and you'll see what's been done.

On the map, a quick google image search shows that we're looking for logic where there's only art.

Tam Joseph's 'Handmade Map of the World'

See for example https://artdaily.cc/news/90357/Ben-Uri-acquires-Tam-Joseph-s--Handmade-Map-of-the-World-#.X01CZWdKiL5 for a full blurb, but essentially:
