european cartographies
The history of Europe is full of wars. Conflicts -which led to be changing frontiers and maps- created Europe as we know it today. And we can be sure that the Europe we know today will not be the Europe we know tomorrow. It´s called destiny, which is good news for cartographers.
Europe at the start of the 20th Century was a powder keg. Which was just about to explode. Humorous maps became fashionable at that time. They would give each country a character and, of course, that character would vary considerably depending on the country’s geo-political conditions. While Europe’s changed a lot, it hasn’t really changed at all.
