Rediscovered Map Exhibit at Brown

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

I came across a mention of this exhibit of rediscovered maps on the excellent blog The Map Room.

The collection represents the world throughout the time these maps were collected by Brown University. Two-thirds of the maps are from the 1800s and early 1900s, with a major focus on the United States and Europe. The local collection for southern New England is also noteworthy. Some of the more exceptional maps are a Nazi tourism map, a map cited by Herman Melville in writing Moby Dick, and an anti-slavery map donated to the Library by the family of an abolitionist who graduated from Brown in 1831.

There is a talk on April 5th, but the show runs though April 25th 2007 at Brown University’s John Hay Library.
