ABSTRACT The Mapa Uppsala is the earliest known map of sixteenth-century Mexico City that was painted by indigenous artists after the city’s takeover by Spanish forces. It is one of the few indigenous-produced documents about the city and its environs from this time period. While the traditional scholarly consensus has been that the map dates to c.1554, we derive evidence from an examination of the

ABSTRACT In the middle of the sixteenth century, in Mechelen, Jacob van Deventer began an enterprise of epic proportions: to draw maps of all the towns and cities in the Low Countries and bring them together in an atlas. Made at the request of Philip II of Spain, these maps are generally considered to have been intended as military documents. A close analysis of the strategies of representation developed

ABSTRACT Maps became increasingly affordable in England between the mid-seventeenth and mid-eighteenth centuries. A survey of inventories made for probate or compiled privately, personal library catalogues and atlas subscription lists shows that maps were owned by people from different levels of society and that, irrespective of status, the maps served two principal purposes: decoration and instruction

ABSTRACT This article examines an 1874 court case brought by the leading map-making firm W. & A. K. Johnston against the Athenaeum, a literary periodical, for publishing a review that criticized the quality of Johnston’s Edinburgh Educational Atlas. The review, by geographer Charles Tilstone Beke, impugned the reputations of mapmaker Alexander Keith Johnston and of the Johnston firm, questioning their

ABSTRACT The Vercelli map has never been accorded its due place in the mappaemundi canon. Faced with problems of illegibility, few scholars have dared to research it. The availability of multispectral imaging (MSI), however, has provoked closer investigation. In this short note, attention is limited to the question of its date. Attempting to discover the genesis of a medieval map remains largely a

ABSTRACT The maps of a Spanish imperial frontier in the Philippines made in the eighteenth-century by the missionary Alejandro Cacho reflect an ethnographic approach that simultaneously reified and undermined Spanish notions of conquest and civilization. While Cacho celebrated mission towns and denigrated unsubjugated settlements, several elements of his maps subverted that message by recognizing the

Note from the Editor: The following article incorporates the text of the first of the two keynote addresses initiating formal proceedings at the 2019 Conference on the History of Cartography. In view of its historiographical interest, the Editor invited Peter Barber, a former Head of Maps at the British Library and an authority on divers aspects of map history, to share his reflections with readers

ABSTRACT In the field of medieval cartography, the Psalter World Map (BL, Add. MS 28681, fol. 9r) has come to stand in scholarship as an exemplar of the medieval world view. While the World Map has received wide attention, its relationship to the List Map on the verso and the psalter manuscript as a whole has been less discussed. A close material analysis of folio 9 reveals that the two maps were pasted

Abstract This essay studies in detail—from a legal and aesthetic perspective—an eighteenth-century game map that became the object of a copyright dispute. Thomas Jefferys’s Royal Geographical Pastime or the Complete Tour of Europe was only the second geographical game to be produced in Britain. The game was, however, more than a simple pastime for an educated public. The map fed notions of hegemony

Faded, damaged and largely illegible, the thirteenth-century mappamundi now preserved in Vercelli, Italy, has attracted less attention in recent scholarly work on medieval maps than it merits becau...

On 7 December 1941, Japanese inflight commander Mitsuo Fuchida signalled To-Ra, To-Ra, To-Ra indicating that the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was a total surprise (Fig. 1). Braving a hail of anti-aircraft fire, Fuchida bombed the USS Maryland and circled the harbour to coordinate the rest of the attack. As the Japanese planes returned to their fleet, twentyone American ships were aflame or sunk

In March 2019 Günter Schilder was awarded the Menno Hertzberger Prize from the Royal Library in The Hague. The jury praised him for his oeuvre and for his initiative in starting the Explokart Studies, referring to him in their citation as the ‘Godfather of modern Dutch historical cartography’. At the International Conference on the History of Cartography, which was held in the summer of 2019 in Amsterdam

to gathering geographical information: Hessel Gerritsz (c.1581–1632), Johannes De Laet (c.1581–1649), and Willem Jansz. Blaeu. The authors rightfully give the trio both plenty of attention and some new details about them. A critical comment can be made concerning the size and price of this book. It is well illustrated and carefully written and edited. However, sometimes one gets the feeling that the
