Description

Explore the deep connection between scientific measurement and visual art in this scholarly work from Routledge. During the nineteenth century, the expansion of nations and empires led to an unprecedented rise in gridding, graphing, and surveying of territories previously labeled as unknown. While these expeditions were designed to collect scientific data and justify territorial claims, they also generated massive collections of artistic and visual material. This book examines how expeditionary mapping influenced the visual culture of the Americas. It presents the argument that acts of measurement serve as aesthetic acts, creating a unique intersection between new technologies and sociopolitical power. Readers will gain insight into how these visual interventions played a role in historical conflicts and the broader expansion of empires. This text is an essential resource for those studying the history of the Americas, cartography, and the evolution of visual culture.
