Historical maps : exploration

Photographs of globes and antique maps formed the basis of this sequence which show how our view of the world has changed as gaps in our knowledge have been filled in through the centuries. The sequence was produced for an exhibition at the Kunsthalle, Bonn.

Source data: globe by Martin Beheims (1492), maps by Moses Pitt (1680), August Petermann and Lesauvage (1859).
