@bibliolater @histodon @histodons @anthropology The use of a late 19c construction (never re-construction) of the map ad mentem Eratosthenes is likely not the author’s doing, but the use of a world map to illustrate a piece about detailed maps of place reveals the deep rooted myth of cartography.

@independentpen @bibliolater @histodon @histodons @anthropology (c) personal plug: see my last book “Cartography: The Ideal and It’s History” (2019) … and await, no doubt with bated breath(!), the follow up “The Map: Concepts and Histories” (whenever I can finish it)
