• Planisphère A Dieppe par Nicolas Desliens, 1566
  Portolan world map synthesizing Norman hydrographic knowledge in the mid-16th century. It is "South up:" a visual that mends modern northern hemisphere bias.
• Tabula Rogeriana
  The most accurate map of its day, drawn by Arabic geographer Al-Idrisi, for Roger II of Sicily--hence its title. It is a "South up" map: visibly mending northern hemisphere bias.
