Tour of the Map Division
New York Public Library (Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street)
Note: Limited to 15 participants, no admission
Civitella Intern Freya Yost works part time in the Lionel Pincus and Princess Firyal Map Division at the New York Public Library. She has selected several rarely seen maps of Italy that range from 1800 to the present for a private Civitella viewing in the Map Reading Room. In addition to some of the oldest maps in the collection, Freya has selected maps that detail the region of Umbria around Civitella and show intriguing aspects of local history, geography, and the art of cartography. She will explain how to read a map and some of the basic elements of cartography, such as the compass rose, cartouche, legend, and whimsy.
