ABSTRACT After his apprenticeship with Heinrich Berghaus in Potsdam, August(us) Petermann worked from 1845 to 1847 for W. & A. K. Johnston in Edinburgh to assist in the production of the English version of Berghaus’s Physikalischer Atlas. In June 1847, Petermann became a freelance cartographer in London focusing on innovative maps of population, infrastructure, hydrography and other themes in Britain, as well as on exploration maps of Africa and the Arctic. From 1853, his commercial ties with Justus Perthes’s Geographische Anstalt intensified, and in 1854 a now professionally well-rounded Petermann moved to Gotha. This article, written to commemorate the bicentenary of his birth, is a comprehensive appraisal of Petermann’s nine years in the United Kingdom. It is posited that his work there was both formative and ultimately essential to the innovations in cartography and geography that he encouraged in his journal Petermanns Mittheilungen from 1855 on. The article is complemented by the first thoroughly revised carto-bibliography and bibliography of his oeuvre in more than a century.
在波茨坦师从海因里希·伯格豪斯之后，奥古斯特·彼得曼于1845年至1847年在爱丁堡为w & A. K.约翰斯顿工作，协助制作伯格豪斯的《物理地图》英文版。1847年6月，彼得曼在伦敦成为一名自由制图师，专注于英国人口、基础设施、水文和其他主题的创新地图，以及非洲和北极的勘探地图。从1853年起，他与贾斯图斯·佩尔特的《安斯塔特地理学》的商业联系加强了，1854年，一个现在专业知识丰富的彼得曼搬到了哥达。这篇文章是为纪念彼得曼诞辰200周年而写的，是对彼得曼在英国9年的全面评价。有人认为，他在那里的工作对制图学和地理学的创新既有形成作用，又最终至关重要，他从1855年开始在他的杂志Petermanns Mittheilungen中鼓励这种创新。这篇文章是一个多世纪以来他的作品的第一个彻底修订的书目和参考书目的补充。

Spain in the atlases of the seventeenth century; fifth, the topographical surveys of Spain and its coasts in the eighteenth century based on a new network of scientific institutions created by the monarchy; and sixth, the geodetic works of the nineteenth century until the creation of the National Geographic Institute in 1870. The second volume is the catalogue, an excellent tool which in turn is divided into two long chapters. The first, devoted to the ‘Territories of the Monarchy of Spain’, contains the description of 274 records grouped on geographical and thematic axes: (1) maps of the Iberian Peninsula; (2) maps of Peninsular Spain; (3) territories of the monarchy of Spain in Europe (Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands and Franche-Comté), North Africa, Spanish America and the Pacific (the Philippines and other archipelagos); and (4) historical maps of wars and battles. The first axis is arranged in two groups. In one, we have maps of ancient and modern Spain in the editions of Ptolemy’s Geography and Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographia. In the other, the reader finds maps of Spain printed in the leading European schools of map making—Flemish, Dutch, Italian, French, British, German and Spanish. The second chapter is dedicated to the ‘world represented in spheres, mappaemundi, atlas frontispieces, continents, countries, nautical charts and some islands of the world’. To facilitate the search for information, the catalogue is accompanied by an index of authors and institutions, an index of titles and main authors, and a subject-geographical index. In short, this book offers new cartographical materials, properly ordered and described, to both the specialist and the general public. The high-quality images were digitized by the Imprenta Nacional de la Agencia Estatal Boletín Oficial del Estado (National Printing Office of the State Agency Official State Gazette). Interested readers can access these images and their files online through the RAH Digital Library; in the near future, they will also be able to download the electronic version of this book free of charge through the Biblioteca Jurídica Digital (Digital Legal Library) of the State Agency Official State Gazette.
西班牙在17世纪的地图册上;第五，18世纪西班牙及其海岸的地形调查，是建立在君主制建立的新的科学机构网络基础上的;第六，19世纪的大地测量工作，直到1870年国家地理研究所成立。第二卷是目录，这是一个很好的工具，它又分为两个长章节。第一部分是“西班牙君主制的领土”，包含274个记录的描述，按地理和主题轴分组:(1)伊比利亚半岛的地图;(2)西班牙半岛地图;(3)西班牙君主国在欧洲(葡萄牙、意大利、荷兰和弗朗索瓦- comcomois)、北非、西属美洲和太平洋(菲律宾和其他群岛)的领土;(4)战争和战役的历史地图。第一个轴分为两组。一种是在托勒密的《地理》和塞巴斯蒂安·米斯特的《世界》中有古代和现代西班牙的地图。在另一本书中，读者发现了欧洲主要地图制作流派——佛兰德语、荷兰语、意大利语、法语、英国语、德语和西班牙语——印制的西班牙地图。第二章致力于“以球体、地图、地图集、大陆、国家、海图和世界上一些岛屿为代表的世界”。为了方便检索资料，目录附有作者和机构索引、标题和主要作者索引以及主题地理索引。简而言之，这本书提供了新的制图材料，适当排序和描述，专家和一般公众。这些高质量的图像是由impprenta Nacional de la Agencia Estatal Boletín(国家机构官方国家公报国家印刷局)数字化的。感兴趣的读者可以通过RAH数字图书馆在线访问这些图像及其文件;在不久的将来，他们还可以通过国家机构官方国家公报的Biblioteca Jurídica Digital(数字法律图书馆)免费下载这本书的电子版。

—including the facsimile A to Z series produced in partnership with Harry Margary—such as the so-called Agas map, 1560, and John Rocque’s 1746 map. The present volume maintains the usual high production standards and encompasses a wide range of excellent articles, all carefully illustrated. The only one to address directly a single map or mapmaker is Malcolm Jones’s reappraisal of William Hole’s map of the Finsbury Fields’ archery marks now in the Bodleian Library. Jones shows that this hand-coloured printed map was likely to have been appended to the c.1594 guide book, the Ayme for Finsburie Archers, ‘with distances and scores and yards for every mark’. These timber or stone target posts were decorated to show sponsoring guild companies or alehouses or to commemorate local folk heroes like Long Meg, ‘the roaring girl’, whose ‘jest biography appeared in 1590’, and Martin’s Monkey, dedicated to Sir William Martyn, Lord Mayor of London in 1493, who kept a monkey. Crucially, Jones provides a close analysis of the names of all these marks and their histories, allowing a reappraisal of the not always accurate engraved copy in the London Metropolitan Archives. Historical maps and plans in one form or another appear in nearly all the articles in this volume. Elizabeth Hallam Smith’s piece on Westminster Palace deals with Robert Hulton and William Roades’s A Pocket Map of the Cities of London & Westminster (1743), with its record of all the landing-places on the Thames. Vanessa Harding’s essay on Browne’s Place on the waterfront east of Billingsgate makes great use of reconstructed maps in the British Historic Towns Atlas The City of London from Prehistoric Times to c. 1520. These and the Jones piece are a small sample from a group of important articles that will fascinate and inform the map historian as well as any student of London’s topographical history.

It is unfortunate, however, that lists of signs and city plans are not included in the book, which would have been easy to add as supplementary data in the digital version or as a reference to a data repository. Researchers interested in that part of Davis’s work are therefore relegated to google their way to Davis’s original thesis, which fortunately is available online (https://repository.canterbury.ac.uk/item/88z4v/ a-cartographic-analysis-of-soviet-military-city-plans). Yet, that minor detail does not overshadow the quality of the book as an important contribution to the growing body of research on the Soviet military mapping programme during the Cold War.

If there is a word to describe the organization (and celebration) of the 29th International Conference on the History of Cartography, held in Bucharest from 4 to 8 July 2022 and entitled ‘Conflict & Cartography’, it is challenging. The strange times we are living through, with a global corona-virus pandemic that necessitated the postponement of the celebration of ICHC from 2021 and a war in Ukraine that is deeply affecting neighbouring Romania, made this occasion a particularly difficult undertaking. Everysingleperson involved in theconference(organizations, speakers, partners, attendees, institutions) had to adapt to a new reality of great complexity, marked by the uncertainty of the times. Nevertheless, the admirable efforts and resilience of the organizing committee, formed by Cristina Toma (National Museum of Maps and Old Books, and ICHC 2022 Conference Director), Florentina Nitu̧ (University of Bucharest) and Marian Coman (University of Bucharest), among all the other people and institutions that made the conference possible, resulted in a deeply engaging event, full of exciting, innovative and transcultural approaches to the history of cartography. One of the main features of ICHC 2022 was its hybrid format, with about half of the participants attending (and contributing) online. Specifically, after a few last minute changes, 48 attendees participated in person, while 44 did it remotely. Concerning the poster session, most of the contributors presented their work online. This hybrid format has advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, the lower than usual in-person attendance allowed what Wouter Bracke, Chairman of Imago Mundi Ltd., called in the closing ceremony a smaller, less frustrating and less overwhelming event. Those attending on site were permitted a closer interaction among the participants and a more natural interchange of ideas, experiences and approaches, while interested scholars from all over the world were able to join the conference online and actively participate in it. On the other hand, remote attendance entailed the risk of technical problems that occasionally disrupted an otherwise relaxed celebration of the event. Unfortunately some talks had to be rescheduled, or even cancelled, owing to technical problems. Be that as it may, the herculean efforts of the conference staff to try to avoid those issues and to facilitate a comfortable, dynamic event, both from a human and a technical point of view, were both undeniable and admirable. Apart from the main theme, Conflict & Cartography, a clear connecting thread ran through the whole event, that of a transcultural approach to the history of cartography. In several of the fourteen panels included in the programme, we could see an interest in addressing different cultural traditions, sometimes interconnected in a dialogue of references, influences and methods of transmission.

(1748)’. She shows that Anson’s voyage, and his maps and publication about it, may be read in terms of national hegemony and political authority in a period of enlightened cosmopolitanism. At moments, in specific places, and in different ways, Enlightenment mapping was about competition more than collaboration. Yannan Ding’s focus in ‘A Late Enlightenment Enterprise: The British East India Company’s (EIC) Survey of the Paracels in 1808’ is with that group of islands in the South China Sea and the patronage networks that drove their survey. In the work of the EIC, the demands of trade and practical utility outweighed those of scientific accuracy. In his ‘Enlightened Mapping? Maps in the Europe of the Enlightenment’, Peter Barber discusses the sponsors of Enlightened mapping—‘the state, scientific academies, and the commercial map trade, all made more powerful by increasing prosperity and technological advances’—and examines the uses in public, political and private spheres to which maps were put. The papers are uniformly strong and thoughtfully illustrated. Collingridge and Parker demonstrate the links between map history and print history, whether in newspapers and periodicals or in the edition history of exploration narratives. Parker and Yannan Ding are particularly attentive to recent Enlightenment historiography, and the latter utilizes new archival material to demonstrate the important place of hydrographic mapping (marine charting) as a mode of Enlightenment cartography. Each paper is supported by a full bibliography; those of Edney and Pedley and Barber especially are of considerable length and utility. By illuminating inter alia questions of historiography, epistemology, patronage, audience and the connections between Enlightenment and exploration, map history and print history, map practice and politics, this is an excellent set of papers. The authors are to be commended. The editors are to be congratulated, in this collection and in convening TOSCA, for providing a means to continue conversations on the Enlightenment and on map history.

Maps in the Europe of the Enlightenment’, Peter Barber discusses the sponsors of Enlightened mapping—‘the state, scientific academies, and the commercial map trade, all made more powerful by increasing prosperity and technological advances’—and examines the uses in public, political and private spheres to which maps were put. The papers are uniformly strong and thoughtfully illustrated. Collingridge and Parker demonstrate the links between map history and print history, whether in newspapers and periodicals or in the edition history of exploration narratives. Parker and Yannan Ding are particularly attentive to recent Enlightenment historiography, and the latter utilizes new archival material to demonstrate the important place of hydrographic mapping (marine charting) as a mode of Enlightenment cartography. Each paper is supported by a full bibliography; those of Edney and Pedley and Barber especially are of considerable length and utility. By illuminating inter alia questions of historiography, epistemology, patronage, audience and the connections between Enlightenment and exploration, map history and print history, map practice and politics, this is an excellent set of papers. The authors are to be commended. The editors are to be congratulated, in this collection and in convening TOSCA, for providing a means to continue conversations on the Enlightenment and on map history.","PeriodicalId":44589,"journal":{"name":"Imago Mundi-The International Journal for the History of Cartography","volume":"74 1","pages":"312 - 313"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46876269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

therefore, necessarily lose some precision. But the path of the journey is always clear. A genealogy of a genre is always a bit of an exercise of selection and projection onto the past: William Wey on his own terms could not belong to a genre that did not yet exist nor does Dym argue that mapmakers looked back explicitly to Wey. But the account of this genre is compelling and important. It adds to our formal and cultural understandings of a specific map genre and models a critical approach to studying the genres of maps and mapping.
