“Cartography was not born full-fledged as a science or even an art,”
wrote map historian Lloyd Brown in 1949. “It evolved slowly and
painfully from obscure origins.” Many ancient maps made no attempt to
reproduce actual geography but served as abstract visual
representations of political or theological concepts. Written geography
has an ancient pedigree, usually traced back to the Greeks and
Phoenicians and the Roman historian Strabo. But the making of accurate
visual representations of the world seemed of little interest until
later in world history. As “mediators between an inner mental world and
an outer physical world”—in the words of historian J.B. Harley—the maps
of the ancients tended to favor the former. This is, at least, a very
general outline of the early history of maps.[...]
