Cartographer• \car-TAH-gruh-fer \ • Noun - One that makes
maps
The 14th century artist backed away from his world
map…pleased with the colors, shapes of the continents, & the symmetrical
arrangement of the landmasses. “It’s a good thing we won’t be using this for
navigation,” mused the Genoan sailor to his first mate. “That big land mass
painted by this ‘so-called’ cartographer between us & Indies would keep our
hands off the spice trade for years.”
