Product Information
The period between the French Revolution and the Second World War saw an unprecedented proliferation of mapmaking and map reading across modern European society. This book explores the "age of cartophilia" through the story of mapmaking in the disputed French-German borderland of Alsace-Lorraine. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, both French and Germans claimed Alsace-Lorraine as part of their national territories, fighting several bloody wars with each other that resulted in four changes to the borderland's nationality. In the process, the contested territory became a mapmaker's laboratory, a place subjected to multiple visual interpretations and competing topographies. And the mapmakers were not just professional border surveyors but rather people from all walks of life, including linguists, ethnographers, historians, priests, and schoolteachers. Empowered by their access to affordable new printing technologies and motivated by patriotic ideals, these "popular mapmakers" redefined the meaning and purpose of European borders during the age of nationalism.

Reviews
There is a freshness in Dunlop's writing, a desire to innovate and rethink that is remarkable. Dunlop does not paint by numbers, filling in a tableau well-established by others. Rather, Cartophilia is conceptually bold in combining history and geography in a way that is unique and fascinating. It is also methodologically important, as she handles historical geography with a precision and a delicacy that I have not yet seen among historians or geographers. Cartophilia is an impressive work that will set the model for scholars and students for years to come., Maps should rightly follow in the footsteps of national developments, chronicling changes that have occurred due to nature, wars or treaties. However, Cartophilia makes it clear that maps can have a much more profound cultural impact, and in some occasions actually lead the change. Over time, maps went from strategic military use, to nationalist use, to civilian-made and bought; yet in Dunlop's telling they rarely lost their greater strategic purpose throughout this period. Cartophilia is not light reading, but nevertheless raises many intriguing questions and ideas on the role and importance of maps that few readers would have spent time thinking on (it's also a chance to look at beautiful old maps)., Dunlop analyzes maps and geographic pamphlets generated from the mid-18th century to 1940 to show how cartographers, nationalists, and the Alsatians themselves used map making to define Alsatians as French, German, or Alsatian. Her regional study shows that maps do not present territory; they interpret it. Map makers create identities by circumscribing boundaries. . . .Recommended., Cartophilia represents an important and innovative contribution to this debate. Through its beautifully illustrated discussion of a range of different maps produced to chart and plot Alsace, Lorraine and the Franco-German border, it offers a clear and convincing account of the ways in which this border connected distinct national populations, and joins the growing consensus that in their dual function of dividing and connecting nations, borders connect more often than they divide., Cartophilia is a thoroughly researched, elegantly written and beautifully illustrated investigation of the cartographic depiction of this contested part of Europe. Its emphasis on 'popular' or unofficial map-makers is especially new. Author and publisher alike are to be congratulated for the appearance of this handsome, challenging and path-breaking book that is adorned with 16 colour plates and 70 halftones., Drawing on an extensive and impressive collection of published maps and archival documents. . . .Dunlop effectively demonstrates how mapping initiative passed out of the hands of state surveyors by the middle of the nineteenth century, becoming the purview of nationalist activists, geography teachers, and later even popular hiking associations. Rethinking the common characterization of the nineteenth century as a period when national borders began to harden, she asserts that cartography actually made them more malleable because it empowered ordinary people to reimagine national boundaries in any way they saw fit., Cartophilia represents an important and innovative contribution to this debate. Through its beautifully illustrated discussion of a range of different maps produced to chart and plot Alsace, Lorraine and the Franco-German border, it offers a clear and convincing account of the ways in which this border connected distinct national populations, and joins the growing consensus that in their dual function of dividing and connecting nations, borders connect more often than they divide., "With lively and polished prose, Dunlop traces the many ways that visual imagery both reflected and shaped the shifting boundary between France and Germany. Her ability to explicate all types of cartographic knowledge--from state-sponsored surveys to popular "citizen maps"--makes this a most welcome addition to the history of cartography.", Maps should rightly follow in the footsteps of national developments, chronicling changes that have occurred due to nature, wars or treaties. However, Cartophilia makes it clear that maps can have a much more profound cultural impact, and in some occasions actually lead the change. Over time, maps went from strategic military use, to nationalist use, to civilian-made and bought; yet in Dunlop's telling they rarely lost their greater strategic purpose throughout this period., Elegantly written and excellently illustrated, this book is a very successful example of how maps can be used in political projects. In fact, the visual artefacts under discussion extend far beyond maps, and this sets maps in a wider visual, as well as political, culture., "Dunlop's Cartophilia is an impressive book. Taking the borderland of Alsace-Lorraine as her point of reference, and "popular" cartographers as her subject, Dunlop demonstrates, with a keen eye for telling details, the role of maps and cartographic practices in the formation and re-formation of national and regional identities over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Cartophilia is cogently organized, elegantly and succinctly written, and original in its emphases and contributions.", Dunlop analyzes maps and geographic pamphlets generated from the mid-18th century to 1940 to show how cartographers, nationalists, and the Alsatians themselves used map making to define Alsatians as French, German, or Alsatian. Her regional study shows that maps do not present territory; they interpret it. Map makers create identities by circumscribing boundaries. . . .Recommended., " Cartophilia uncovers a remarkable range of "citizen cartographers" who mapped one of Europe's most iconic borderland regions. From foldable hiking charts to popular village maps, Dunlop draws upon quotidian objects that, in her analysis, become cultural symbols underpinning the modern nation. Not since Peter Sahlins' Boundaries has there been such an insightful analysis of French cartographic culture at its own geographic limits.", "Dunlop's Cartophilia is an impressive book.
