Title A name given to the resource Hydrological Characteristics Description An account of the resource Transportation via waterways was crucial in the 18th century Hamburg region. Therefore, this map recorded waterways in details. Following the blue color wash, readers can easily identify most of the waterways. Furthermore, the map showed the ebb and flow of the Elbe river, which was useful for navigation. However, the information about the depth of water was not provided. Although the color wash did show a gradation, it seems that the function of the gradation was only to distinguish water from land. (The parts close to the coasts were painted in dark blue, and the parts far from the coasts were painted in light blue.) As the map did not have a legend, three details about waterways need further investigation: (1) A few waterways were not colored. Does it simply mean that these waterways were too narrow to color during printing, or does it have further implications? For example, these waterways may be impassable for larger boats. (2) On the western part of the map, two dotted lines were drawn adjacent to land. The meanings of these lines need to be clarified. (3) In the inset at the upper-right corner, something looks like the alluvium was depicted. canals hydraulic engineering inland navigation sediments waterways https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/hist1952/original/9ad913032115621726ddb11cd4ba79b1.jpg e6375e917818521f85f58472fe2e8db0 Map layer Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Borderlines, walls, and forts Description An account of the resource This map applied both borderlines and color wash to distinguish different regimes. It is remarkable that no color wash was applied on Hamburg. Its territory was only depicted by a red borderline. A possible explanation is that a plain background was more suitable for showing details and adding small areas of colors to emphasize. (On the other hand, another regime with a red borderline similar to Hamburg was covered with pink color paint. This pink color also helps to distinguish it from Hamburg.) Other than borderlines, the cartographer also portrayed walls and forts in details. The walls and borderlines did not always match. This phenomenon may partially reflect the political history and political interactions of this region. borderlines diplomatic relations early modern warfare forts walls https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/hist1952/original/d529093819ec2975d3918778cf573552.jpg 12f9fb6055802bd79ac810ae85dcb373 Map layer Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Viewing one city in two ways Description An account of the resource Different views of Hamburg were shown in the upper and lower parts of the map. In the upper part, Hamburg and its neighboring area were illustrated as city grids. The fortifications and drainages were depicted in details. With the help of an index, further information about the city was provided. Numbers and alphabets in the index correspond to places on the grids. (In general, numbers correspond to fortifications, while alphabets correspond to churches and other important buildings.) In the lower part, there is a cartouche of the skyline of Hamburg. The view is the sighting from a boat approaching Hamburg. The fortifications were also carefully portrayed as in the city grid view. Names of some more easily identifiable buildings were shown. These buildings were taller and had colors other than red (at least as shown on this print version). Most of them can be found on the alphabet part of the index. city defense city expansion city grid index urban-rural relations view below map https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/hist1952/original/295c273c838b046783896b1484850e86.jpg 56a7cc1cb9ecbb143786013e0f89ec44 Map layer Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Basic information and non-spatial information Description An account of the resource This layer presents the organization, basic elements, and decorations. This map was organized into three different parts: the main map, an inset in the upper-right corner, and a cartouche at the bottom. Basic elements in the map comprised the topic, the scale, and the compass roses. The compass roses were drawn not only on the main map but also in the inset. In the decorations, much valuable non-spatial information was presented. For example, the cartographer showed the important merchandises at that time by literally writing their names down. cartouche compass rose inset map maritime trade political symbols https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/hist1952/original/77049e155484c8db82b667d83245de33.jpg 091a3f4d5f5dd960efec81e95c711fbd Map layer Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource "Islands" Description An account of the resource This layer outlines the coasts of all the land not included in the major landmasses outline, so all of what would be considered “islands,” when the definition of “islands” doesn’t include what were the “continents.” I’m having a tough time determining an appropriate title for this layer, but I think the quotes are somewhat helpful in conveying the uncertainty I have about this label.
