explore-blog: Gorgeous 1821 map of the “moral and political” composition of the world by engraver William C. Woodbridge, a fine addition to this look at cartography as power, propaganda, and art. I had an ancestor that left home to go to a missionary station. Thankfully the local culture so impressed him he gave up the nonsense about “bringing the light of Christ to the dark” and wasn’t heard from again.
