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. |
