A detail of the Selden map (before the 2011 conservation treatment) showing the compass rose with its 24 divisions, the ruler (or scale bar) and the empty frame (thought to be a miniature of the map to guide the position of the ruler and the compass directions taking into account of the magnetic declination). © The Bodleian Library, University of Oxford, MS Selden Supra 105
