Original - Modern replica of the major wind rose of the Cantino planisphere, drawn over the African continent. A reproduction of the original is here. Notice the Fleur-de-lys drawn in the interior of the rose.
Reason
High quality and good resolution replica of an old wind rose, showing clearly the details of the painted original. Colours were reproduced as faithfully as possible and minor drawing imperfections were corrected.
