HASE [HASIUS, HASIUES, HAAS, HAASE, HASIO], JOHANN MATTHIAS [JOHANNES].

14 januari 1684 - 24 september 1742.
Tysk matematiker och geograf. Född och död i Augsburg (enligt vissa källor i Wittenberg). Studerade teologi och matematik, och fick 1707 en magistersgrad vid universitetet i Leipzig. 1720 professor i matematik i Wittenberg. Förutom matematik och astronomi kom han där att ägna sig mycket åt historisk geografi och kartografi. Bland hans större arbeten kan nämnas 'Historiae universalis politicae idea plane, etc.' (1742). Efter hans död utkom 'Atlas historicus comprehendens imperia maxima seu monarchias orbis antiqui' (1746-50). Hasius ritade också en rad aktuella kartor varav de enkla specialkartorna över tyska provinser räknas bland de bästa inom sitt fack under 1700-talet. Verksamheten bidrog mycket till att frigöra tysk kartografi från främmande inflytande. (Allg. d. Biogr.)
Hase gjorde flertalet kartor som gavs ut av Homans arvingar.

Als Sohn eines Lehrers der Mathematik lernte Hase zunächst an seinem Geburtsort am St.-Anna-Gymnasium und wurde schon früh von seinem Vater für die Mathematik begeiste...

THACKARA, JAMES.

1767-1848.
Thackara was eight months old when he and his parents came to Philadelphia from England. He apprenticed with Robert Scott and James Trenchard as an engraver from 1786 to 1789. In 1790 he married James Trenchard's sister Hannah. Thackara was curator for the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 1816 to 1828, and he is listed as an engraver in the Philadelphia City Directories from 1791 to 1833. His partnership with John Vallance is listed in the 1794 City Directory. He and his son William formed the firm of Thackara and Son in 1832. Thackara was elected Commissioner of the District of Southwark Philadelphia in 1797, and served as clerk of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1807 to 1810.

Dudley Chase, Ernest.

Pictorial maps - maps with vignette illustrations on top of the geographical content - go back practically to the known beginning of cartographic history: Petroglyph maps dating from the Neolithic sometimes are found combining geographic features with representations of animals, people or dwellings.

Vignette insets or overlays are also found throughout the period of printed maps. But maps richly overlaid with small pictures are more commonly found from the 19th century onwards. (A notable exception is the Carta Marina of Olaus Magnus, published in Venice in 1539, which presents a depiction of Scandinavia with more than 100 small woodcut illustrations of animals, real and imagined, and of people pursuing all kinds of activities, such as hunting, fishing, skiing, etc.)

Ernest Dudley Chase was an exceptional creator of pictorial maps. Though he worked primarily as a graphic artist and businessman in the greeting card industry, Chase also designed, drew, and self-published more than 50 pictorial maps, each densely packed with detailed vignettes reflecting the areas portrayed. In this map of the United States, each state's capitol building is shown, as well as many other vignettes of buildings, famous sights (e.g. Niagra Falls, Hoover Dam) and pictures of people pursuing outdoor activities (fishing, horseback riding, panning for gold, etc.) appropriate to the particular region. In addition to the vignettes in the body of the map, there are 32 vignettes drawn in the blank areas outside the country's borders, mostly showing famous buildings, and 4 vignettes in the corners showing symbols of the country's natural bounty: a bull's head, a longhorn sheep's head, a sheaf of wheat, and a branch from a cotton plant.

Most of Chase's maps display a sense of humor. Though this map is mostly serious and respectful in its portrayal of the United States, the humor creeps in from time to time, such as the small collection of broken hearts outside of Reno, Nevada.

Since Chase published and sold his maps on his own, many of them bear his manuscript signature, as can be seen in the bottom margin, at the left, in this example.

In March, 2003 the Harvard Map Collection presented an exhibit of the pictorial maps of Ernest Dudley Chase, curated by Joseph Garver. The Boston Map Society met on the opening night, and the members were given a guided tour of the exhibit.
