Mora's work is outstanding for its artistic values and humor. Jo Mora, 1876 - 1947, was a successful artist who created a large group of pictorial maps of varying places and subjects. We were able to acquire a large group of his manuscript and published maps from his family.
While his output was relatively small, the quality of his work is extraordinary. In addition, he drew several maps of his landscape commissions, as well as other maps for clients. He drew but never published a map of Panama. Ashburton, Cleveland, Ohio, and Alexandria, VirginiaĪshburton Tripp, 1887-1955, was a landscape architect who also made and self published pictorial maps of Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. His schematic pocket maps for the London underground are also important as precursors of Harry Beck's fully developed diagrammatic London underground maps starting in 1933. His 1915 London Underground map is considered one of the most important 20th century pictorial maps which established a distinctive pictorial style. MacDonald Gill was an important British artist who created many kinds of illustrations, as well as maps.

#Pictorial maps update#
We will be continuing to add more pictorial maps to the collection, and this link will automatically update with the new maps. While they seem to have peaked in popularity in the 1920 to 1940 period, they have antecedents in the 19th and earlier centuries and the form continues today. Pictorial maps are generally described as maps that employ various kinds of illustrations, images, and text that enhance the cartographic message. Over 2,000 Pictorial maps and related images have been added to the David Rumsey Map Collection in the form of separate maps, pocket maps, case maps, atlases, manuscript maps, and wall maps.
