Cartographic Fakes and Forgeries

On MapHist, Tony Campbell has announced a major new section of his Map History/History of Cartography site: Cartographic Fakes, Forgeries and Facsimiles Likely to Deceive. It includes a list of known fakes (unfortunately in Word format), a guide to how to tell a fake or forged map, and notes on known or suspected forgeries. Though not the resource Tony originally envisioned more than two years ago, it still looks impressive, interesting and useful.
