Description

The Map Makers - 2004



Episode 1 - The Waldseemüller Map 1507

Episode 2 - The Mercator Atlas

Episode 3 - The D-Day Invasion Maps





The Map Makers is a recent three-part television documentary series presenting key moments in the history of
map-making.

The idea was good. Maps are a riveting way to trace our understanding of our world -- and they should present a rich mix
of scholarly research and outright adventure as mankind sought to delineate his surroundings.

There are three episodes, the first is: The Waldseemüller Map 1507, which traces through map history the discovery
and the naming of America, and why Vespucci Amerigo got the naming honours to the Now World, rather than Christopher
Columbus.

Next up is The Mercator Atlas, which focuses on a rare volume prepared by Flemish cartographer Gerard Mercator in the
16th Century, which was prepared from information supplied by a network of French spies in the English court, and which
could have been used to pave the way for an invasion of Britain.

Finally, we rush into the 20th Century with The D-Day Invasion Maps, which looks at how Underground intelligence sources
within the French Resistance, and British agents, gathered together at huge personal risk the vital intelligence needed
to make the invasion of Normandy -- and the end of Nazi rule of Europe -- possible.

Absorbing subjects, but the material is let-down by writing which seems determined to beef-up the material at all costs
to make it rival the most thrilling adventure story. Less superlatives and more straight-down-the-line story-telling
could have produced great documentaries. These are over-hyped and exaggerated tales, as if prepared for air-heads who
just have to be continually told how thrilling it all is.

Some more factual material would have been worthwhile. It was interesting to hear, for instance, of the espionage
activities which produced the Mercator map. But more should have been told about how Gerard Mercator produced his famous
geographic projection method for map-making, known by his name ever more and still in use today. How did it differ from
map-making techniques used before? How did he evolve it? We're not told.







A map is more than a geographical representation of a land. It is an image which mirrors a society's political,
religious and cultural vision of itself. The Map Makers tells the story of maps through history and explores major
developments in map making.
