Gerard Mercator Wall Decorations
Flemish, German, 1512-1594
Gerard Mercator (1512-1594) was one of the most famous cartographers of the 16th century and, in fact, of all time. Mercator was known for his strict adherence to scientific methods of the day. He was responsible for advancing the technology of map making. For example his method of representing land masses in a cylindrical projection with north up and south down, first described in 1569, became the standard map projection for navigation. It is still referred to as The Mercator projection. to
