nity to make copies of maps collected by the Spanish naval officer Felipe Bauzá y Cañas (1764–1834), chief cartographer on Alessandro Malaspina’s expedition to the Americas, Oceania and Australasia between 1789 and 1794. As a pioneer of infographics, Humboldt also designed altitude profiles, contour lines and geographicclimatic diagrams such as those showing vegetation zonation according to altitude and latitude in his famous Géographie des plantes équinoxiales (1807). For him, epistemic drawing was heuristic, a tool for gaining knowledge; he used maps as a ‘visualized series of measurement’. This publication, which contains a helpful timeline, is an excellent basis for all who want to study Humboldt as a mapmaker.
期刊介绍:
The English-language, fully-refereed, journal Imago Mundi was founded in 1935 and is the only international, interdisciplinary and scholarly journal solely devoted to the study of early maps in all their aspects. Full-length articles, with abstracts in English, French, German and Spanish, deal with the history and interpretation of non-current maps and mapmaking in any part of the world. Shorter articles communicate significant new findings or new opinions. All articles are fully illustrated. Each volume also contains three reference sections that together provide an up-to-date summary of current developments and make Imago Mundi a vital journal of record as well as information and debate: Book Reviews; an extensive and authoritative Bibliography.
