Jerry Brotton says in his introduction to A History of the World in Twelve Maps that "mapmakers do not just reproduce the world, they construct it." (p. 7). After reading the material from Brotton carefully, choose the Kangnido map from 1402 or the Waldseemller World Map from 1507 and use it as evidence to discuss Brotton's assertion. Does the map you have chosen support Brotton's point? Why or why not? What does studying this map tell you about what types of texts and/or artifacts historians use as evidence to construct their interpretations? What does it tell you about how modern conceptions regarding the purpose and meaning of maps have changed compared to those of earlier societies? Why are images such as the map you have chosen useful as historical evidence? How can historians use them to understand the world view of the society that created it? What do these (and all maps) suggest about the ways in which maps, like other sorts of primary sources, are subjective rather than wholly objective texts/artifacts?
