HORNSBY Picturing America: The Golden Age of Pictorial Maps Stephen Hornsby is the director of the Canadian-American Center and a professor of geography and Canadian studies at the University of Maine. His research centers on historical geography and American cartography in the early 20th century. Hornsby holds a PhD from the University of British Columbia and a master’s degree from the University of St. Andrews. His most recent book, Picturing America: The Golden Age of American Pictorial Maps, outlines the development of this cartographic form, highlights several pictorial map artists, describes the process of creating a pictorial map, and discusses the significance of the form to the history of American cartography. ELIANE DOTSON Putting the “Art” Back in Cartography & Map Appraisals Eliane Dotson is owner of Old World Auctions, president of the Washington Map Society, and a Steering Committee member of the Fry-Jefferson Map Society. Colorful, decorative, and often edgy, pictorial maps are the new darling of the collectible map market. Often more aesthetic than cartographic in nature, pictorial maps focus on telling a story rather than depicting geographical accuracy. This talk will review the various types of pictorial maps and what makes them so collectible. Learn how to incorporate pictorial maps into your current collection or how to start a collection from scratch. Discover where to find pictorial maps, how to research them, and how to determine their worth.
