Hello,
My name is Amber Comerford and I am an Assistant Producer working for Tern Digital. Tern Digital is based in Glasgow and produces digital and multiplatform content for a wide variety of
clients. We are currently working with Tern TV to develop a website that will accompany their new BBC4 TV series The Art of Maps.
A key section of this website is going to feature 5 historical maps, looking into the history and information the map provides as well as looking at the use of art in the map.
We are hoping to get in touch with some cartography and/or art history experts who would be interested in assisting us with these documents. The maps we are featuring are:
The Psalter Map, 1260
Desceliers’ world map, 1550
Either the London, Jerusalem, or Constantinople plate by Braun and Hogenberg, taken from the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, 1572
Hemisphaerii Borealis Coeli et Terrae Sphaerica Scenographia (Plate 25), taken from the Harmonia Macrocosmica, Andreas Cellarius. 1660
The Serio –Comic War Map from 1877, F.W. Rose
We are currently constructing documents for the website and would really value the input of experts to make sure our research is correct and point us in the direction of additional facts and theories relating
to the map that we could include.
Any advice or help with who to speak to would be gratefully received.
Thanks very much for your time.
With best wishes,
Amber
