Made from imagery in non-data parts of historic sea charts and maps. These early charts were misleading in their accuracy, but looked convincingly plausible. Richly decorated with sea monsters, people of exotic lands, etc., these peripheral decorum function for me as tricksters, overshadowing truth and meaning in the fallible charts, which often lead to shipwreck death, and financial ruin.
