oy vey, you must try a little harder my friend.

Ive already explained to you, there is no "right" way of projecting a 3d image onto a 2d space. Its mathematically impossible.

Anyways, appears they are using the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peirce_quincuncial_projection, but flipped 90 degrees and with some differently shaped landmasses, but I doubt there were many sat photos back then to help. Im sure back in the early 1900's every country had a slightly different looking map that they had patched together with their data.

:shrugs:

I finally do get what your saying, australia is about twice as long, but I dont know again I could round that up to any number of errors.

I wonder if it was intentionally done like that to obscure trade routes or something.

Meh, I still think its because of some kind of projection issue.

Australia is huge.

Funny part is it would look exactly like that if you connected new zealand and australia. Possible they based this on a map that the locals had made 500+ years ago? When the sea level was lower? You can claim thats not true either. But we know there are settlements and even forests under water.

That map doesnt even show australia my friend, your looking at south america.
