Flickr might be an interesting website to browse, but if you don't know what you are looking for, it turns out, well, like browsing a photo dictionary. Like this time, I spent three days (but not whole three days ^_~) to find an interesting image for the discovery exercise. The image I would like to find is an ancient map of Formosa. I couldn't find a very clear image on Flickr, since it was shot from a glass cabinet in a museum.The most interesting about this image is that the island, Formosa is horizontal in this ancient map, not vertical in a modern map we see today. It was drawn with the landscape painting to show a deployment of troops in entire Formosa between seventeen and eighteen centuries. The map also represents some traces of Ming-Qing Dynasty and Dutch civilization during that time. It was posted by Flickr user Adonis Chen.
