Time line map, a chronological tree of French and English historical events since the birth of Christ until 1700. Prepared and published by the Italian scholar and poet Jerome Andre Martignoni. Includes in the upper left corner inset map of "modern" England, in the right upper corner "modern" France, and in lower panel coats of arms. The Channel and the Mediterranean are filled with ships and a scale. In the lower part the map continues with parts of North Africa, filled with dromedaries, elephants, etc. The title of his work translates as " Explanation of the historical map of France and Britain since the birth of Jesus Christ until the year 1700, which contains abbreviated key events of these kingdoms during the Roman Empire. Martignoni intended this work as a new means of teaching European History in an easy, comprehensible, and all-encompassing manner by means of historical maps composed in a special methodical way. His work offered one of the first systematic visualizations of the stream-of -time metaphor, but it was far from the last. Martignoni stretched what could be shown in a single view to the very limit. what would appear at first to be world maps are in fact hybrid charts combining geographic and chronographic information.
