Mu compliments for your work Joshua, I am not familiar with the work your map is based on but it inspired me to do some investigating

As for your options: I really like the extra information you added with the title in option A and I really like the top globe in option B showing the map is part of something bigger. I also prefer the red borders in option A more, gives the map a more ‘luxorious’ feel.
Personally I would like to see option A, but with the globe and its red border all the way at the top of the box above the title.

Again, awsome work!
