"Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Map' to 'Mars'" by Various is an early 20th-century collection of knowledge. This part of the collection looks at everything about maps and how they're made, explaining what maps are, how they're used, and how making them has changed over time. It starts with the basics, like what maps are for and the different kinds that exist, then moves into the history of creating maps in different parts of the world. The goal is to teach readers about the importance of maps for finding your way, discovering new places, and learning about the world and charting how people use their artistic ability when making them; showing how detailed drawings relate back human discovery on Earth, showing how geography and drawing connect.
