British India map

This British 18th century map is more familiar to the modern student in reading and recognizing the map. There are several tools that are used in this map that regularly occur in modern maps. These tools are especially useful for the function of this map, for its function was as part of the East India Company by one of their highest administrators in charge of India. Even though there are many similarities between this map and a modern one, it is easy to overlook the differences that give this map its meaning and function. The fact that this map is still not easily and quickly produces is evident in the map but only if the map is not overlooked.

Some of the similar tools in this map that are prominent in a modern map are they latitude and longitude lines and the point of compass where North is the top of the map and going clock wise follows the pattern to Never Eat Soggy Waffles. The general shape of India is familiar and very similar to that which is found on a modern map along with the enlades or enlarged parts of the map, but there are some details that give away the age of the map. The fact that only the coast and tip of India is mapped with trade routes, provinces, and cities is suspicious and also the fact that the title of the map is done to stand out and in a detailed manner. Each of these features tells something different about the map.

The fact that the map only maps the tip and coasts of India helps show where the East India Company concentrated on mapping and what was most important for trade. Major cities and trade takes place on the coasts and the most easily accessible parts of the country. This is because the ships dock and unload on the coasts. Most people will come to the coasts to get their goods and if necessary transport them to the middle of the country themselves. There was little need for traders to venture into the country. Although with every trip the company can and probably mapped a little more of the country. Since all of the maps that we saw at the library were made with a form of hand carvings and ink press, it was very difficult and time consuming to make maps. This map was most likely used for a large portion of time during the trading rule in India but the island off the coast of India still remains a very round and not well defined island compared to the mainland. The information that they gather from the exploration they had done probably went toward making a new map but since the process is not easy a lot of information needs to be gathered before the process is started to create a more recent version.

The fact that the Title of the map is done in a detailed and elaborate manner does reference to the time period. In this time period it wad very common for the title of the maps to be enclosed in a very elaborate picture, done in color, and/or in fancy formal writing. This was used to help describe the map and generally identify them but this could easily be skipped over in this map, I almost missed it. Only the European maps have this idea of identification for the maps.

Being to comfortable with only one view or way of looking at a map can make one miss details about the map, sometimes-major details. By taking a modern view of the map it is easy to miss the implication of the age of the map, and also how the map was made in reference of what the users thought was most important, the function of the map. Opening oneself up to different views allows for one to see and catch these details that are vital to the understanding of the map.

Keywords for this would be. East_India_Company for those who used it, Copper_carving that is how it is made, Ink_blot for it is also an ink blot map, Trade for the East India Company was a trading company, British for it is a British made map, and finally 18th century for the time the map was used and made.

The British Museum – The New Great Court

The Great Court of the British Museum, inaugurated with the new millennium.

"On 7 December 2000, the Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, at the heart of The British Museum, opened to the public.The two-acre square, enclosed by a spectacular glass roof, has transformed the Museum’s inner courtyard, with the world-famous Reading Room at its centre, into the largest covered public square in Europe.
Designed by Foster and Partners, the ?100 million project has been supported by grants of ?30 million from the Millennium Commission and ?15.75 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The courtyard was one of the lost spaces of London, hidden from public view since 1857. The relocation and opening of the British Library at its St Pancras site, has enabled valuable space within the Museum to be utilised to the benefit of the Museum’s visitors. The Great Court increases public space in the Museum by forty per cent, allowing visitors to move freely around the Main floor for the first time in 150 years. Once in the Great Court, visitors can choose from a number points of entry into the galleries. There is direct access west into the Egyptian Sculpture Gallery, east into the King’s Library and north into the new Wellcome Gallery of Ethnography. Inside the courtyard itself, two monumental staircases encircle the drum of the Reading Room and lead to the Joseph Hotung Great Court Gallery, and the Court Restaurant. From the restaurant level a bridge link takes visitors into the upper galleries of the Museum. "
