GIBSON, JOHN.


Engelsk kopparstickare vid mitten av 1700-talet. Han graverade kartor för ett flertal atlaser, och utarbetade själv en 'Atlas minimus' som kom ut i 5 upplagor under åren 1758-98. Då redan den första av dessa upplagor är 'revis'd, corrected and improv'd by Eman: Bowen' (se denne), kan Gibson ha dött innan den utkom. I övrigt kan nämnas en odaterad atlas 'New and accurate Maps of the Counties of England and Wales'.

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.
