ABSTRACT Based on archival research, this article analyses the publishing history of the map of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in the Petermanns Mitteilungen journal. Commissioned by the provincial government between 1836 and 1855, this map was drawn up by two German army officers who had emigrated to Brazil. In 1859 the Swiss naturalist Johann Jakob von Tschudi acted as an intermediary between the Brazilian authorities and the German publishing house Perthes in Gotha. The editorial process reflects both the transatlantic circulation of maps and geographical knowledge and the creation of a global community of map readers and users in the German-speaking context in the mid-nineteenth century.
摘要:本文在文献研究的基础上，分析了《彼得曼斯·米特伦根》杂志刊登巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州地图的历史。1836年至1855年间，省政府委托两名移居巴西的德国军官绘制了这幅地图。1859年，瑞士博物学家约翰·雅各布·冯·楚迪(Johann Jakob von Tschudi)在巴西当局和哥达的德国Perthes出版社之间充当了中间人。编辑过程既反映了地图和地理知识的跨大西洋流通，也反映了19世纪中期德语背景下全球地图读者和用户社区的建立。

In the historiography about European empires, there is an increasing interest in processes of describing, measuring and mapping areas as well as considering the various political, economic and social features related to them. This applies in particular to the analysis of population statistics, land taxation and schemes for agricultural improvement. In 2020, Reinhard Johler and Josef Wolf edited a volume, which contributes to this historiographical field. Beschreiben und Vermessen is based on a conference held in Tübingen in 2009. It comprises twenty-one essays related to ‘knowledge about space’ (Raumwissen) in the eastern and southeastern parts of the Austrian (later Austro-Hungarian) Empire. The essays are arranged in three sections: administrative communication and description of the country, surveying and mapping, and perspectives of the history of knowledge. A book review does not allow detailed discussion of every contribution, and, therefore, the following paragraphs focus on three aspects of particular interest to map historians. In some chapters, historical statistics as well as the instructions that were used during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to create these statistics play a major role. Peter Becker, for example, highlights the importance of the instructions in the process, when social and economic features were structured into standardized abstract categories (‘Standardisierung der Zuordnung von Lebensund Wirtschaftsformen zu abstrakten Kategorien’). Such instructions formed a framework in which the creators of statistical descriptions arranged the characteristic features of their areas, as Livia Ardelean shows for the Marmarosch (in Romania) and Rudolf Gräf for the Banat (now divided among Romania, Serbia and Hungary). In these chapters, the authors examine how local staff tried to adapt the instructions to conditions in their respective areas. With regard to surveying and mapping, the contributors to the volume illustrate how the map enabled the central administration literally to ‘see’ the country. Land surveyors received detailed guidelines regarding the representation of topographical features, allowing them to produce maps that worked as a sort of filter. Xénia Havadi-Nagy, for example, demonstrates the importance of the various mapping projects that had the aim of ‘optimizing and acceleratingmovements of troops’. In addition, two chapters, by Borbála Zsuzsanna Török and byReinhard Johler, illustrate how eighteenthand nineteenth-century experts discussed various methods of measuring ethnographic differences, and how cartographers in the twentieth century channelled these differences into ethnographic maps. Another aspect highlighted here is the understanding of descriptions, statistics and maps as instruments or tools for political and administrative aims. Robert Born, for example, shows how military mapping at the Austro-Ottoman border depicted fortresses and other details useful for future war scenarios. At the sam

ABSTRACT In the context of the sparse documentary evidence for the important mid-eighteenth-century mapmaker John Rocque, this article looks to examine the nature and development of the Huguenot’s professional career through a closer consideration of a broader sampling of his output than has previously been the case. This entails an acknowledgement of the importance of his work as a decorative and topographical engraver, which predates his more famous city and county maps, as well as a sustained consideration of his last great original city plan, An Exact Survey of Dublin. This was Rocque’s only house-by-house city map, one over which he had full control and that is more representative of his map making than the 24-sheet London map for which he is generally more famous. Rocque’s move from estate surveyor to city mapmaker is considered in the light of the previously only partly explored input into the surveying methodology of the London map by the Royal Society’s secretary Peter Davall. Attention is also drawn to two previously unpublished letters by Rocque to his nephew in Mannheim, written the year before Rocque went to Dublin in 1754, and which point to Rocque’s expectations of his own demise.
