Book Description
Display label text from Lie of the Land: the Secret Life of Maps, British Library, 2001-2002: "Map of the British Empire, 1926 This map is not content with simply recording the British Empire at its greatest geographical extent after World War One. To impress British children in their geography lessons, the British Empire is shown in red and to the best possible advantage. Centring the map over 40 degrees west of Greenwich gives an excuse for showing Australia twice. The Mercator projection makes Canada look far larger than the United States and only the British parts of Antarctica are shown. Including shipping routes chiefly to and from Imperial destinations enhances the message. W. & A.K. Johnston, Illustrated Atlas of the British Empire. London, [1926]. Maps.29.b.28".

Mapping an Empire
Author: Matthew H. EdneyPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226184862
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
In this fascinating history of the British surveys of India, Matthew H. Edney relates how imperial Britain used modern survey techniques to not only create and define the spatial image of its Empire, but also to legitimate its colonialist activities. "There is much to be praised in this book. It is an excellent history of how India came to be painted red in the nineteenth century. But more importantly, Mapping an Empire sets a new standard for books that examine a fundamental problem in the history of European imperialism."—D. Graham Burnett, Times Literary Supplement "Mapping an Empire is undoubtedly a major contribution to the rapidly growing literature on science and empire, and a work which deserves to stimulate a great deal of fresh thinking and informed research."—David Arnold, Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History "This case study offers broadly applicable insights into the relationship between ideology, technology and politics. . . . Carefully read, this is a tale of irony about wishful thinking and the limits of knowledge."—Publishers Weekly
