[OSM-talk] Fwd: General inquiry: hand drawn maps

[Steve Chilton]

Dan and Kris

The repository I can think off is mentioned in the original email below.

Other individuals that immediately spring to mind are:

Alfred Wainwright: http://www.wainwright.org.uk/
I can provide more details, as I have done quite a bit of research on his mapping. For instance he illustrated Richard Adams' Plague Dogs in first edition, and several other books. He was one of a small band of "autograph book" producers (cf Blake, Carroll, Lear - who may well have included maps).

Mark Richards: http://www.markrichards.info/
whose early guide books certainly included his hand-drawn maps (after the style of Wainright, who was a sort of mentor), but latterly I don't think have been

Christopher Tolkein: http://www.tolkienmaps.com/tolkienmapsstory.html
according to link above produced the original maps for his father's books

Stephen Raw: http://www.tolkienmaps.com/stephenraw.html
Part by hand, part by computer, redoing work of Christopher Tolkein

Kris: I suggest you re-post your enquiry to carto-soc and see if you pick up any more responses: http://www.soc.org.uk/cartosoc.htm

Does anyone in the community have some good hand-drawn maps that they
would like to share for possible inclusion in an upcoming book? I have
vague recollections of a repository of these sorts of maps a while
back, but I don't remember the details.

I've shared a few sketches but none of them are particularly readable,
so I'm sure there must be better examples out there  :)


Cheers,
Dan

I'm currently working on a book of maps that will be published by Princeton
Architectural Press and would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

The book is based on my web project, the Hand Drawn Map Association, and
focuses on maps that people draw for one another to provide directions or
tell a story. Most of the maps in the collection are by non-professionals,
but I'm interested in framing the book in the larger context of the human
desire to record the world around us. To that end, I'm looking for some
historical or contemporary maps that are specifically sketched or drawn by
hand - not necessarily well executed manuscript maps - but maps that are
more crude, rough, gestural, etc. I'm specifically interested in maps that
are drawn by well known individuals.

Again, I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks,

Kris Harzinski
