[Cynnabar] Talk on 16th C world maps - this afternoon

[Aaron Elkiss]

Short notice, but something people might be interested in:

Portraying the World Anew: Martin Waldseemüller’s "Carta marina" (1516)


Date & Time: April 30, 2014 - 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Location: Clark Library, 2nd Floor Hatcher Graduate Library

"Chet Van Duzer, Jacob M. Price Visiting Research Fellow at the Clements
Library, examines the differences between Martin Waldseemüller’s Carta
marina of 1516 and his more famous 1507 map. Van Duzer says the Carta
marina is more interesting than the 1507 map in several ways, and is the
result of Waldseemüller’s radical re-evaluation of what a world map should
be."
