Flat of the World by Gleason
Flat of the World by Gleason presents a nineteenth-century flat-earth world map as a bold graphic statement. The composition radiates outward from the North Pole, continents arrayed in an unfamiliar circular arrangement that is equal parts cartography and cosmological belief. The typographic grid, decorative border work, and careful hand-lettering reflect the confident graphic sensibility of Victorian-era map-making. As a historical document and design artefact, it sits in the intersection of science, belief, and visual craft.
This archival fine art print captures the intricate linework, aged tonal values, and fine typographic detail of the original map with exceptional clarity. The fine art print format rewards close inspection, bringing out every engraved line and period-accurate ornament.
