Glen checks the old map to make sure he's putting pins in the right places.
The office gets a giant map to replace the old one.

Taken at MDDA the other night, this was on one of the walls somewhere. I don't know what they were brainstorming, but personally I'm glad I wasn't in that meeting.
Another painting on the map gallery ceiling. This time I let Irfanview do an auto white balance - it made a pretty good job of it. The hours this ceiling must have taken to paint...

An overview look as of August 2020 at my collection of transit timetables, maps, schedules, ride guides, etc. that I've amassed so far. Many of these were picked up while visiting and fanning different systems, and several others were kindly given to me by fellow transit enthusiasts. This series of photos is based loosely by state or providence, but sometime city or region depending on what I actually have.

one of the projects in the latest Craft magazine. I'm going to use it to hold rolled up papers for map making.
The previous post came through without labels. Here's a lower res screen capture of the map with labels.

I named this book after the map that I used for the end-papers on this book. Inspired by the cotton-candy colors of the map I cut out some tiny bunnies (not alien heads~) and flowers from Japanese washi paper to decorate the outside. The cover on which the bunnies cavort is made from sturdy cotton bookcloth. The spine is made from a more elegant rayon book cloth and I like the way that the rough cotton and silky rayon meet.
The text block was hand-cut and sewn by me, the edges of the paper were cut to make them smooth. Personally, I find that smooth-edged pages are easier to turn.

The Map Room came into use on the very first day that the Cabinet War Rooms were ready for occupation and never ceased to be the hub of the site until VJ Day. On the following day, 16 August 1945, the Map Room lights were finally turned out and the room was left almost exactly as it is today with every map, book, chart, pin and notice occupying the same position now that they occupied then.
The Map Room remained open day and night and the chief task of the officers manning this room was to collate and summarise all relevant information on the progress of the war and present it on maps, which would be constantly updated. ‘The Cabinet War Room Record’ was a daily news sheet that was compiled for transmission every morning to the Prime Minister, the Chiefs of Staff and the War Cabinet. One copy, for the attention of the King, was taken to Buckingham Palace by the Duty Officer every morning.
Four Map Room officers, representing each of the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Home Security, sat either side of the long table in the centre of the room. The Duty Officer was selected from each service in turn and occupied the seat at the head of the table. The series of coloured telephones down the centre of the table were known to the Map Room officers as the ‘beauty chorus’ and had flashing lights as an alternative to bells – they were colour coded and used to communicate with intelligence services, another service war room or the War Rooms own switchboard. The three black phones with green receivers were fitted with scramblers, a device that rendered the conversation meaningless and just a jumble of noise until it was unscrambled at the receiving end.
The large map of the world covering the southern wall of the room hangs where it hung for most of the war. It was used to plot the position of convoys and the movements of individual warships – the thousands of tiny dots which cloud the surface of the map are pinholes left by markers shifted around by the map keepers. During the war this map became so perforated with pin-holes that the outlines of the principal convoy routes could be seen from the other end of the room.
The blackboard which hangs on one of the pillars was used during the Battle of Britain to note the numbers of enemy aircraft destroyed each day.
Access to the Map Room was strictly controlled. The privileged few who were allowed in included visiting heads of Allied countries or armed forces and the King and Queen themselves came to the Map Room in May 1942.
Central Park is massive and one can wander for hours and hours. The red area in the middle of the map is the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Nansenbushu Map – Japanese woodblock print from 1710
This is the map that we have looked at extensively in class. Seeing it up close was very different from looking at a digitalized photo in lecture. I was surprised by the amount of detail in the map and it was really interesting that one can see the “artist’s hand” in the map. There were areas of the map that did not match up perfectly, which is where each woodblock ended, there were parts that showed double printing and looks slightly out of focus, and one can also see where the smaller pieces of paper were pasted together to create this one big map. It’s a strikingly beautiful piece of work.
This map is a great example of how travel narratives move from one country to another and manifest into a visual record. There are many places where one can see signs of influence from the writings of either Fa Hian, Xuanzang, or Wu’s Monkey. For example, in many province looking places on the map, the characters would say something like “周七千里” which means the circumference of the location is 7 thousand li in distance. This was information that was listed in the writings of Xuanzang for all the places he traveled through on his journey to and through India. It is very likely that the Japanese mapmaker derived these numbers directly from those records. Also, there were large long areas of dots that people were confused about. Upon examining the characters, I realized that they said something along the lines of “Great Flowing Sand River”, which is really interesting because the character Sandy from “Monkey” supposedly lived at the bottom of a great flowing sand river. There are many salient parallels between these literature and this map.
This map also challenges our traditional notions of what a map is used for. The priority of this map is very religiously focused so accuracy of dimensions and shapes are less important than in maps we are more familiar with. The center of the map is the place of the Buddha, and there are circular patterns drawn around it, which is what my photo shows. Travels to seek the Buddhist scriptures dominate the message of this map, and to that end, I think it was successful in achieving its purpose. A lot of other things in the map are probably just there for decorative purposes. The detailed mountain ranges are probably not extremely accurate, nor are the rivers. It would be interesting to superimpose a modern map of India on top of this map to see where the deviations occur. Furthermore, methods for measuring distances were probably very primitive during that time, so the fact that India is recognizable should already be an impressive feat.
