Abstract

Praktisch tot 1800 lieten de kaarten niet alleen het geografisch beeld van een gebied, met steden en dorpen, wegen en wateren zien, maar ook sierelementen, sierschrift en sierranden met wapens, klederdrachten, stadsgezichten en wat al meer. In dit boek zijn een aantal belangrijke voorbeelden van de 17de-eeuwse kaartversiering bijeengebracht waaruit het grafisch kunnen van de oude cartografen spreekt. Een aantal elementen keert herhaaldelijk terug, in de eerste plaats de 'cartouche' die uit de zestiende eeuw is overgenomen en oorspronkelijk als sierelement in de bouwkunst fungeerde (Frans Floris de Vriendt, Hans Vredeman de Vries). Ook voorstellingen uit de klassieke mythologie komen vaak voor, evenals populaire symbolische of allegorische figuren, zoals de 'wildeman'. In de zeventiende eeuw treedt ook het landschap als versieringselement naar voren.

Abstract

Originally published to wide acclaim, this illustrated essay on the use and abuse of maps teaches us how to evaluate maps critically and promotes a healthy skepticism about these easy-to-manipulate models of reality. To show how maps distort, Monmonier introduces basic principles of mapmaking, gives entertaining examples of the misuse of maps in situations from zoning disputes to census reports, and covers all the typical kinds of distortions from deliberate oversimplifications to the misleading use of color.

Abstract

This book is a guide that provides information on the occurrence of each map in various atlas editions, thus allowing the reader to determine from which edition a loose map derives. It also provides information on the various states that most maps went through, and gives their cartographical sources. Many new maps have been identified by the author, and are described here for the first time.
