What does history look like?
How do you draw time?
Cartographies of Time is the first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time in Europe and the United States from 1450 to the present.
This is a beautiful book to look at, but more so, it's an incredible resource and fascinating look at how we, as a people, mark the time.
Authors Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton have crafted a lively history featuring fanciful characters and unexpected twists and turns.
From medieval manuscripts to websites, the book features a wide variety of timelines that in their own unique ways—curving, crossing, branching—defy conventional thinking about the form.
