Jan Evert Grave (1759–1805) was a Dutch engraver known for his early use of the aquatint technique, a graphic method that allowed for shaded tonal effects resembling watercolor washes. Active primarily in Amsterdam, Grave produced fine landscape engravings and other works that are valued for their technical skill and delicate tonal range. His engravings capture scenes such as castles, natural landscapes, and genre scenes reflecting 18th-century Dutch artistic interests. Grave contributed to advancing printmaking by incorporating new techniques and enriching the visual language of Dutch engravings in his era.
The 19th century marked the era of cartography, as mapmaking became professional, organized, and global. Scientists and surveyors used improved instruments and statistical methods, turning maps into trusted scientific documents with greater precision. Surveying advanced with triangulation, precise tools, and national topographic programs. Printing technology improved, adopting lithography and early color printing to produce clearer, richer maps. New thematic maps used techniques like choropleth, flow lines, and dot density to show data visually. Notably, Charles Minard pioneered multivariate mapping, combining multiple data themes on one map.
Map design reflected industrial and Victorian tastes, balancing detail and readability. Governments supported mapping societies to control territories at home and abroad. Maps became essential for urban planning, empire-building, and scientific research. The 19th century also fostered a global map culture, sharing knowledge internationally. Today, 19th-century maps are prized for their science and artistry. They laid the foundation for modern cartography, data visualization, and geographic information science, and are celebrated by collectors and institutions for their insight into industrial-age geography and culture.
