I’d just like to say, as a fan of D&D, your website is invaluable!

I would say one word to describe the new exhibition Maps: Finding Our Place in the World: incredible. Everything in this exhibition is an incredible example of mapping, sure, but also history, art, literature, technology, psychology… it hits on so many different aspects of life. I was recently at a preview where the curator, Will Noel, walked us through the exhibition. When He asked us how long ago we thought the Chinese men had mapped out their paths & routes on stone while estimating the gridlines accurately, he said…1130 B.C. What?! Incredible! This exhibition had me saying that a lot! It’s a chance to see and learn about rare art and artifacts for all ages. I definitely say it is a must see!

Go to http://www.baltimore.org/maps/maps.php for more info and to see videos of the curator talking about the exhibition.

Via your URL for the image I googled up an interesting JSTOR article on Russian state-building and cartography (thanks!), though this map wasn’t displayed in the piece.

(The similar map from East Africa, by the way, is late 19th century.)

16th century Russian land-holdings map. Circular areas are agricultural, set off from surrounding forest. I will post a blog entry about these maps at some point in the near future. Source: Cartographies of Tsardom by Valerie Kivelson (Cornell University Press, 2006).

Where is the lead map on this entry from? It resembles in many respects a missionary’s map of a stretch of land in East Africa.
