Details	1715	Moll--Herman	Moll-s-world-map-of-with-monsoons-and-trade-winds	Increasingly scarce map of the world by Herman Moll ca. 1715 covering a large area from 50 degrees north to 50 degrees south of the Equator. The map, on Mercator's projection is centered on "the Great South Sea", or Pacific Ocean, and Moll's incomplete outlines for New Zealand, Australia, and Tasmania reflect the uncertain state of geographical knowledge in the early eighteenth century. <br><br> Moll's maps touching on compass variation and wind patterns, especially the trade winds, stand out as significant contributions to cartography and navigation. Moll tried to visualize the concept of global atmospheric circulation, making use of the contemporary understanding of trade winds and monsoons. Monsoon winds are seasonal wind patterns that occur over various regions, most notably in South and Southeast Asia, where they cause the well-known monsoon rains. As Moll explains in his note at upper left: <br><br> <div class="indenttextblocksingle"> "Note that the Arrows among the Lines shew the Course of these General & Coasting Winds, and the Arrows in the void Spaces shew the Course of the Shifting TRADE-WINDS, and the abbreviations Sept. &c. Shew the Times of the Year when such Winds blow". </div><br> <div id="0" align="center"> <a title=""></a> <img id="6773" src="/ZoomifyImages/SC_6773/SC_6773_detail_1.jpg" alt="Detail of the East Indies from Moll's Map of Monsoon and Trade Winds." width="340"/> <br><br> <font size="-2">Monsoon and Trade Winds in The East Indies. Moll, 1715.</font> </div><br> On this map, Moll represented the trade winds – the predictable east-west wind patterns in the tropical latitudes – using arrows. Knowing the direction of the trade winds at specific times of the year, was crucial to understanding how to plan routes for ships involved in trade and exploration. This information was invaluable to the burgeoning Atlantic economies, particularly in the context of the Atlantic triangular trade.

Provides data on whale sightings by season, geographic area, whale species, and relative frequency. First published in 1851 but this 3rd edition printed in 1956. <br><br> Maury's Whale Chart provided valuable information about the migratory patterns of various whale species based on data collected from whalers and merchant ships and depicted the seasonal movements of different whale species in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It included information about the regions where whales were most commonly found during specific times of the year, helping whalers optimize their efforts and increase their chances of successful hunts. <br><br> The last three editions of Maury's Whale Chart may be identified thus: <div class="indenttextblocksingle"> <ul style="list-style-type: circle;"> <li><b>Third Edition (1956)</b></br> Upper top left position with logo of eagle clutching items in claws surrounded by text: "Hydrographic Office U.S. Navy".

6821	Thematic world map Rich World Poor World An early, if not the earliest, large format pictorial map of the two-world model, used to attempt to explain the origins of economic inequities between the Global North (Rich World . . .	Details	1996	Fitzgerald--Paul	Thematic-world-map-Rich-World-Poor-World	An early, if not the earliest, large format pictorial map of the two-world model, used to attempt to explain the origins of economic inequities between the Global North (Rich World) and the Global South (Poor World). Map concept, text and artwork by Polyp ca. 1996. The map combines infographics with much textual explanation to explain the economic imbalances between the two conceptual worlds. <br><br> The term "Global South" refers to developing countries primarily located in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. These countries tend to be poorer, experience higher income inequality, and have harsh living conditions compared to the wealthier nations of the "Global North," mainly situated in North America, Europe, and Australia. The term "Global South" gained popularity after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, replacing the previous term "Third World," (in a three-world model) which referred to developing nations during the time of colonialism. <br><br> Scarce.
