I love this map.. but.. it’s too small. One cannot read the writings and the details on this map. Is there a better bigger version? I would love to post this on my blog!

I agree, this is a wall poster that doesn’t really work perfectly on a small format. I wish I could help you! What I can suggest is that you upload it to a program that manipulates images (we use Pixenate here, and for Tlaxcala we use Photofiltre, which some say allows you to do a bit more changes, but has only been difficult for me since you have to load in your own pixels) then you can make it as large as possible, or even crop it in two and enlarge it piece by piece. This poster was sent to me a few years ago and I was lucky enough to have found it on the web for posting it.
It really is beautiful! I am still looking for the one of embroidery patterns that I had about 25 years ago (someone brought it back from Nablus for me) but left it in Chicago and I’ll never see it again! It was an inspiration for me and so beautiful it almost hurt!
