Terrasculpture Models
|
|
Consists of 51 physical relief models called "terrasculptures." Created in
the late 1960s by Ernst Hofmann, a long-time head of cartographic design at
Hammond, the terrasculptures are thin aluminum sheets which have been
manually embossed to simulate the earth's surface in three-dimensional form.
By raising the surface of the aluminum sheets to depict elevated features,
or depressing the sheets to reflect such features as rivers and sea floor
depths, these models accurately represent relief and topography. Color can
be applied to the models to reflect the earth's natural vegetation.
Hofmann's relief models reveal the artistic skills that are traditionally a
major component of mapmaking. Once the relief sculptures were completed,
they were photographed to provide the base shaded relief found on the
Hammond maps, creating the impression that the relief actually rises from
the printed page. Using the same aluminum modeling technique, Hofmann also
created an 18-inch diameter globe, called the "terrasphere." |

Examples of the Print Process
|
|
Within eight folders are samples of materials illustrate and document all
the basic elements of map compilation, design, construction and printing.
Map artwork contained in the collection includes works drafted using pen and
ink, stick-up lettering, and a scribing technique that creates the desired
image by removing an opaque coating from a sheet of plastic film.
Cartographic design features include examples of line work, symbolization
and lettering. The printing of maps and atlases is represented in numerous
printing plates, color separations, photographs of original artwork and film
negatives. Also included are plates of book covers and catalogs, as well as,
an obituary of C.S. Hammond. |

Printing Records: Index Cards
1900-1990s
|
|
Among the non-cartographic materials in the collection is a file of some
12,000 4-by-6-inch cards that represent part of Hammond's printing history
from the early 1900s to the mid-1990s. This is primarily a record of the
publications that Hammond produced for other companies. The basic data
contained in these records changed over time but usually included such
information as the customer's name, type of material printed, and number of
copies printed, which could range from a few hundred to hundreds of
thousands of copies. |
