“On the second floor of the Library of Saint Marks in Venice, Italy, a map of the world occupies an entire room.
The Mappa Mundi, completed by Italian monk and cartographer Fra Mauro in 1459 AD, is the compendium of all the geographical knowledge of the time and is arguably the greatest medieval map of the world…”

Very excited to now have my birthday present framed!

This is a copy of an 1885 lithograph of Auckland, NZ, drawn as if from a point 1000ft above and 100ft to the rear of the hospital, by George Treacy Stevens.

I realise the photograph has nothing for scale, but the map is huge (the frame is 98x78cm)! This will hang above my desk, which may be dangerous to my productivity as there are so many fascinating details :)

I first saw this years ago on a bag or poster or somewhere, and traced it back to a copy in Auckland Libraries' Kura | Heritage Collections Online (Map 4641, https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/maps/id/1376/rec/2 ), though when printing out this copy I used the scan from the National Library, as it was higher resolution (D-001-006, https://ndhadeliver.natlib.govt.nz/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE1019878&dps_custom_att_1=emu )

According to their catalogue this is the only detailed birds eye view of a 19th century New Zealand city!

In 1899, the New York State Department of Agriculture produced a "map showing the location of the butter and cheese factories in the State of New York." This is the legend from that map:

#maps #history #localhistory #ephemera #historicmaps #NewYorkState #NewYorkHistory #UpstateNewYork

Legend from an 1899 map. Open circle indicates a butter factory. Closed (green?) circle indicates a cheese factory. Plus sign indicates a butter and cheese factory.

La représentation cartographique de l'Europe en reine du monde est un grand classique du début de l'époque moderne, mais j'ai toujours été troublée par les choix graphiques associés...

@BenjaminHCCarr Thanks for highlighting this analysis suggesting widespread #medieval consumption of gray & right #whales - & the interesting #map, the #CartaMarina of 1539, with its splendid illustrations of a wide range of #SeaMonsters & their diverse tactics for dealing with aggressive seafarers.

A detail of the Carta Marina, showing Iceland, Norway, the Faroe & Orkney Islands, with sea serpents & dragons & walrus-like creatures grappling with smaller ships attempting to harpoon & kill them. One ship is disappearing into a whirlpool; a giant lobster holds a man in one claw. The Wikipedia page links to a full image with higher resolution, & explains how the map's existence was rediscovered.

Ancient Courses - Harold Fisk’s Meander Maps Of The Mississippi River (1944)

“[T]housands of years of course changes compressed into a single image by a clever mapmaker with an artistic eye. Looking at them, you're invited to imagine the Mississippi as it was during the European exploration of the Americas in the 1500s, during the Cahokia civilization in the 1200s (when this city's population matched London's), when the first humans came upon the river more than 12,000 years ago, and even back to before humans, when mammoths, camels, dire wolves, and giant beavers roamed the land and gazed upon the river…”

[a wonderful description of maps in their exploration, historic, cultural, economic and political settings]
“Maps have been invaluable throughout Canada's history. They promised fame and fortune to early merchant-adventurers and guided army commanders. They legitimized a politician's dominion and allowed businessmen to stake new claims. And they helped ordinary citizens build communities. Terra Nostra celebrates the mapping of Canada, in part by telling the stories of the exceptional individuals who helped to create the maps..."
