Coincidentally, there is an exhibition just opened in the American FolkArt Museum in NY, Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American 'Schoolgirl' Art folkartmuseum.org/exhibitions/..., and one of the exhibits is embroidered world #map - that also shows Tartary & Altai Mts

Came across this embroidered globe, made in 1817 by a girl from the Westtown School (Quaker school near Philadelphia) - apparently this was part of their geography (!) studies - collections.lacma.org/object/8786 Pity they don't show the other side, curious how Central Asia would look #map
