One of the most striking (fig. 6.16) juxtaposes a traditional painting of Jambudvıp̄a (dominated by alternating bands of green forests and blue rivers) with a monochrome Dutch-style map of the eastern hemisphere, its continents finely rendered and named. Hovering between the two is one of the strangest images in the whole book: ‘the sun, represented as a disc-like planet, circled by Chinese-style gated walls, with temple structures in a landscape of mountains, trees and clouds’. Could this vision have been inspired by cartouches on European maps depicting a walled, circular Garden of Eden? We shall have to ask Max Moerman.

ABSTRACT Up to now the literature dealing with the cartography of the former Duchy of Pomerania has assumed that wall map of the region by Eilhardus Lubinus (Eilhard Lubin) had two editions: the first dating from 1618 and the second from 1758. Detailed analysis of correspondence between the mapmaker and his patron, the Pomeranian Duke Philip II, and later letters relating to arguments over payment and paper supplies as well as of a recently discovered copy of the map (now at the University of Szczecin), however, point to the existence of a third edition. This, it is suggested, dates from 1619–1620 and was financed by Lubin himself. Research has also revealed that the paper on which this new exemplar was printed came neither from the Pomeranian dukes’ paper mill (as for the 1618 edition) nor from the Unold paper mill in Wolfegg (as for the 1758 edition).

ABSTRACT The Council of Tarragona has acquired an unpublished map of the city showing fortifications proposed by the occupying Napoleonic Army during the 1808–1814 Peninsular War but never built. Consequently, the map illustrates a little-known moment in the history of Tarragona not addressed by any material in military archives. The proposed reduction of Tarragona would have cut the upper part of the city into two zones, entirely changing the area’s topography. The French strategy was to consolidate the whole city in a way that would more effectively reinforce it and reduce its vulnerability to flank attacks. The map presents a unique, urban example of the important role mapping played in Napoleonic military strategy.

This special issue marks the 25th anniversary of TOSCA, The Oxford Seminars in Cartography, and their contribution to the discussion and dissemination of ideas associated with cartography, principally but not exclusively with the history of cartography. To celebrate this contribution, a conference was held in Oxford in September 2019 on ‘Enlightening Maps’. The five papers in this issue of the Cartographic Journal are a selection of those presented. An editorial introduction by Elizabeth Baigent and Nick Millea, the convenors of TOSCA, prefaces the papers. Baigent and Millea outline two central themes—the social spaces for the conversation that acts to circulate knowledge, and the personnel, politics and quality of that cartographical conversation—and discuss them primarily with reference to conversation in Britain on the history of cartography. Their introduction is thematically structured under ‘Map Seminars in Twentiethand TwentyFirst-Century Britain’ and ‘Maps in British Collections and Their Audiences’, in which latter context attention is paid to the map exhibitions in the British Museum and the British Library. This focus is a matter of individual practice, bespoke audiences and institutional prestige. These topics (with others) inform the five papers which follow. In ‘Writing Cartography’s Enlightenment’, Matthew Edney and Mary Pedley take a historiographical view of map history in the Enlightenment, both much-discussed if not always agreed-upon as topic and period. They begin by examining what they call the ‘old history of cartography’ in relation tomore recent work on the changing view of mapping in the Enlightenment. They dismiss, rightly, earlier notions of the Enlightenment as a sort of transitional period, its mapping distinguished by faltering moves away from the ‘cartography fabulous’ of the early-modern period and evident in a century and more of emergent depictive realism that preceded the rise in the nineteenth century of ‘cartography militant’ (the terms are mine, with apologies to Joseph Conrad). In remapping the history of cartography in the Enlightenment, importance is given to sociocultural approaches to map history and to the evident increase in ‘map-mindedness’ in the arts and humanities. We should also note their own outstanding role as co-editors of Cartography in the European Enlightenment, volume four in The History of Cartography published by the University of Chicago Press in 2019. The second half of their paper outlines the different contexts—representational, methodological, political and social—around which they organized the encyclopaedic treatment of Enlightenment mapping in that work in nine different modes: boundary mapping, celestial mapping, geodetic mapping, geographical mapping, property mapping, thematic mapping, topographic mapping, urban mapping, and marine charting.
