Boston Rare Maps Launches AmericanMapmaking.com We are pleased to announce the launch of a new virtual exhibition of American maps from the late 18th Century. Based on an early 2011 exhibit at the Harvard Map Collection curated by Michael Buehler of Boston Rare Maps, Toward a National Cartography traces the evolution of mapmaking during the formative years after the American Revolution. These maps reveal the ways in which Americans, freed from the constraints of colonial status, sought to transform the landscape to suit their newly established economic and political goals.
Included in the exhibition are works by renowned mapmakers such as Osgood Carleton, Andrew Ellicott, John Fitch and many others. Visit AmericanMapmaking.com to explore this new exhibition. |
