Cartography Print 1852 – Educational Diagram of Mountains, Winds, and Reefs
Located in Langweer, NL
Cartographic Masterpiece 1852 – Illustrated Guide to Map Symbols and Climate Description: This original 1852 plate titled "Illustrations of Chartography Plate I" offers a fascinating and visually rich introduction to 19th-century mapping techniques. Published in A School Atlas of Physical Geography by the eminent Scottish cartographer Alexander Keith Johnston, the plate served as an educational tool designed to teach the principles of cartography, climatology, geology, and meteorology. The detailed engravings include symbolic representations used on maps, such as forms of mountains, volcanoes, reef systems, and rainfall diagrams, along with charts of wind directions, cloud formations, and the system of contouring. Particularly notable is the lower section titled "Climatography," which combines scientific elements into a picturesque landscape featuring a rainbow, tornado, sea spray, and a mountain chain—all stylized to represent the natural forces shaping Earth’s surface. Johnston was a leading cartographer of the Victorian period, and this atlas was used widely in schools and scientific circles for its clarity and innovative visual methods. The plate was engraved and printed by W. & A.K. Johnston, his family firm, which gained a global reputation for excellence in educational publishing. This chart is not only historically significant but also aesthetically appealing, making it an ideal piece for collectors of antique scientific prints...
