For Decades, Cartographers Have Been Hiding Covert Illustrations Inside of Switzerland’s Official Maps.
"As Juerg Gilgen, a current cartographer at Swisstopo, told me “as a matter of fact, the proof-reader is also just a human being prone to failure. And cartographers are also just human beings trying to fool around.”"
Wonderful, wonderful stuff.
