Persuasive Maps - The PJ Mode Collection


Angling in Troubled Waters, 1899
"This is a collection of 'persuasive' cartography: ​more than 800 maps intended primarily to influence opinions or beliefs - to send a message - rather than to communicate geographic information. The collection reflects a variety of persuasive tools​, including​ allegorical, satirical and pictorial mapping; selective inclusion; unusual use of projections, color, graphics and text; and intentional deception. Maps in the collection address a wide range of messages: religious, political, military, commercial, moral and social. Learn more about persuasive cartography and the collection"
