La cartografia speciale e gli atlanti nazionali alle mostre del XIX Congresso Geografico Internazionale

Summary

Aldo Sestini’s report surveys the population-map, thematic-map, and national-atlas exhibitions organized for the XIX International Geographical Congress in Stockholm. It compares mapping conventions and national contributions, finding no fundamentally new population-mapping methods and stressing execution, geographic context, and clear symbol scales. The atlas section assembled more than forty complete, sampled, or still-publishing works from nearly thirty states. Sestini advocated greater consistency in core subjects and representation, noting that the IGU Commission on National Atlases appeared to be pursuing this goal.
