Another famous example is called Map of nowhere by Grayson Perry, who was heavily influenced by Mappa Mundi.
Jacopo De Barberi was a Italian. His most famous work was known as "Map of Venice". It was made out of Woodcut then took it to print. In this map, it captured the view from a bird, without people actually flying up.  

So how history can inform us in modern maps?
