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

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
