Link - The Art of Cartography TD Gallery, Main Level, Toronto Reference Library Explore items from the exhibit in our Digital Archive. About the Exhibit Toronto Public Library is pleased to present The Art of Cartography, a new exhibit showcasing the unexpected beauty of maps and atlases from the 16th to the 19th century. The exhibit features world maps, atlases, manuscript maps, sea charts, celestial maps, city plans and other cartographic curiosities from the library's Special Collections. Cartography – the practice of making maps – is both an art and a science. Throughout history, maps have been created for practical purposes, telling us where we are in the world and helping us find where we are going. We have used maps to chart the land, sea and skies and to understand the world around us. Historical maps can also be appreciated as works of art. They paint a picture of a place or region using colour, line, symbols and often elaborate embellishments. The artistic elements of maps can tell us many things about how and why they were made and capture ideas about the world at the time. Discover beautiful maps from the library's collection and the stories that they tell: of lands explored and unexplored, of wayfarers and voyagers, of peoples and societies, and of places both real and imagined. Wednesday September 14th - 7-10 pm. Fashion Shows 8 pm and 9 pm.
