eastern Europe. The section ends with a fascinating discussion of the role of maps in the hardening of borders during the recent refugee crises. Chapters 3–5 focus, in order, on drawings and photograph of ethnic dress (and other cultural artefacts, places), satirical cartoons, and dust jackets of academic books. While not maps these chapters remind us of the inter-textual nature of any meaningful examination of cartography – for example the use of photos in atlases – which often define the ‘other’ as specimens for the Western gaze – including the ‘savage’ or ‘quaint’ peoples of eastern Europe. Chapter 4 on cartoons has surprisingly few examples containing maps as powerful visual metaphors for geopolitical issues – only one shows a detailed regional map with Czechoslovakia at its centre, concerned with the German threat to that state and others in the region (another cartoon is presented in the chapter on maps showing a torn map of Europe in which the east has been ‘lost’). Two examples show undesirable elements being swept from a globe, this is a long-standing satirical motif and goes back to at least the early nineteenth century; in one entitled ‘Peace Will Win!... ’, (from the cover of Szpilki, 1950) a dove of peace is shown sweeping warmongers from the globe, while a second shows a crocodile (representing the journal of that name – Krokodil) in the same act. Only one of the dust jackets displays a map! Despite this, these chapters still provide a fascinating insight into how imagery creates place and political space. This is certainly a book to awaken an interest in the power of images as a whole well as a fresh look at much that had already been written on maps but through the lens of eastern Europe.

ABSTRACT The automatic placement of map labels in graphically dense areas is one of the challenging problems in modern cartography. Creation of the annotation layer still requires human interaction and automation of this process has significant potential for reducing the time required for map production. In this paper, we present a software technique for the key numbering process that we applied to approximately 20% of the 1:25,000 topographic maps of Turkey. The results were compared with those obtained from the traditional manual method. The consistency of the results is above 90%, achieving time savings of 70%, which indicates an substantial improvement in topographic map production.

This final instalment of Volume 58 includes a particularly diverse mix of themes, from map production to map history. The first paper, by Turgay Çap, Hüseyin Zahit Selvi and İlkay Buğdayci, presents a new software technique for speeding up the production of topographic maps based on their research in Turkey. This is followed by Florian Ledermann’s timely empirical study into minimum cartographic symbol sizes on highdensity display devices. The Issue then shifts to historical matters, first with a robust evaluation of the planimetric accuracy of the European and Mediterranean Sea map of Piri Reis by Omer Gokberk Narin and Mevlut Gullu, and second by Hua Shi’s fascinating appraisal of how the roles of Europeans are reflected in their maps of East Asia and Central America between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. These papers are complemented by book reviews of some of the latest cartographic titles and the Society’s Annual Report, which closes the Volume. The production of the Journal has sadly continued to be affected by the ongoing impact of COVID-19, which has also affected publication schedules this year. Consequently, the planned Special Issue on Soviet mapping is still taking shape and will now appear in Volume 59. The quality of research published in the Journal has not wavered, however, and I should like to thank all authors who submitted their work and the many reviewers who have generously offered their time and expertise. Our Associate Editors, Gwilym, James and Peter, are to be commended for handling the reviewing of papers, our Editorial Assistant, Martin, for coordinating our Reviews section, and Liz and Meg Bourne for their assistance with proof-reading. I am also very grateful that the team at Taylor & Francis, especially Sandy Dalgleish and Andrew Kelly, remain dedicated to ensuring that we return to schedule as quickly as possible.

ABSTRACT Historical maps are popular reference tools for historical, archaeological and temporal analysis, and there has recently been an increase in their use. However, for various reasons, the planimetric accuracy of maps produced before the nineteenth century is usually considered to be lower than today. In this paper, a new method for assessing maps is proposed, using a series of processes, such as radial-based function artificial neural network, magnetic declination, and also MapAnalyst software. The map used in the current study (of Europe and the Mediterranean Sea) is a small-scale map; therefore, control points were produced by taking reference from large-scale maps drawn by the same cartographer, Piri Reis (c.1465–1553). While developing this method, affine transformation (six parameters) was compared in terms of planimetric accuracy. The results indicate that Piri Reis's Mediterranean map offers us unique information in many areas.

ABSTRACT This paper reports findings of a laboratory study that attempts to establish the limits of legibility for fundamental cartographic symbology on modern smartphone screens of varying pixel density. In a controlled setting, participants were asked to discriminate different types of cartographic symbology, while stimulus size was gradually reduced. From the collected results, the limits of discriminability for each symbol type and screen resolution are derived. The paper gives a detailed report and statistical analysis of the results of the experiment and proposes updated guidelines for minimum cartographic symbol sizes for settings in which a high-density display device can be reliably provided.

ABSTRACT This research upholds the designer's mediatory role in the representation of places and hand drawing as a privileged tool. Given the current technological capacity for an automatic representation of the territory and landscape, one can question if the hand that draws the map is now anachronistic. The hypothesis of hybridism between the landscape observational drawing and the cartographic code is proposed, supported by the historical analysis of maps from the sixteenth century. The resultant anachronistic techniques are systematized as a design strategy, available for use by other authors, elsewhere. The techniques were tested by drawing landscapes and producing maps of places. It is concluded that the transference of anachronistic techniques is relevant in contemporary maps intended for touristic, cultural and commercial contexts, when wayfinding skills are not essential. As an open source, other authors may use the same strategy, applying different anachronistic techniques, based on their own subjectivity.
