The Lost Art of Maps - Sam Berk

What is now lost in today’s digital maps is the artistry evident in old-fashioned paper maps. Berk presents maps from the 15^th to the 19^th century focusing on styles and elements used over a 500-year period.  See artistic vignettes of sailing ships, compass roses, sea monsters, indigenous cannibals and allegorical figures representing unknown lands, the gods and natural elements. Join us on this journey back to a time when the majority of the world was a world unknown.
