Abstract

Esse artigo aborda o contexto de produção das várias edições do mapa de John Mitchell, intitulado Map of the British and French Dominions in North América, primeiramente publicado em 1755. A partir desse exemplo, discute a concepção, já arraigada na História da Cartografia, de que os mapas devem ser entendidos a partir da área que eles cartografam. Propõe, então, que os mapas devem ser entendidos observando as demandas do público e as formas de consumo dos mesmos.This article analyses the John Mitchell's eight-sheet, Map of the British and French Dominions in North America, first published in 1755. This map poses a significant challenge to the traditional approaches to the History of Cartography in which maps are studied according to the regions they depict rather than the contexts within which they were made and used. In particular, we must organize our historical narratives and cartobibliographies around not the regions and places mapped, but rather the contexts within which maps were made and used.
