'Cartographies of Time' is the first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time in Europe and the United States from 1450 to the present. From the most ancient images to the contemporary, the line serves as a central figure in the representation of time. The line metaphor is omnipresent in visual representations of time - in almanacs, calenders, charts, and graphs of all sorts. Even our everyday speech is filled with talk of time having a "before"and an "after", or being "long"and "short". More Cartography in case 13
