Looking Slowly at Early Modern Maps

In this workshop, Chet Van Duzer discusses several early modern maps to demonstrate the value of applying patient contemplation to cartography, provides ideas about the types of conclusions that can be reached through slow looking, and shows the richness of early maps as objects for study. Advice on how to study maps slowly will be followed by consultation of historic maps by the workshop participants.
