Who’s that map girl?
I am a Amsterdam based map historian and graduated on the subject of 19th century cartoon maps of Europe.  I am in the editorial board of a magazine, publish articles and do lectures on the history of cartography. Besides that I go crazy about map inspired design, fashion, art, gadgets, you name it.
