Carey and A. Hart of Philadelphia. At nearly 400 pages, the atlas, titled Rudiments of National Knowledge, Presented to the Youth of the United States, and to Enquiring Foreigners, was meant to fill a void in educational texts about American history and geography.The idea to superimpose an eagle over a map of the United States came to mapmaker Joseph Churchman thanks to a coincidence of shadows and light that momentarily tricked his eye into seeing the bird on the page. Though he wrote in the atlas that he was initially "disposed to discard the idea, as merely a sportive play of the imagination," he later decided to execute it.Churchman had a pedagogical goal: he wanted to provide a study aid to help young students learn the borders of the states within their union. During the early 19th century, geography was gaining traction as a pedagogical tool. The study was seen as a way to foster a sense of national identity.Though the use of maps to teach geography seems intuitive now, it wasn't until the 1820s that teachers began regularly using them in class. Churchman aimed to build upon this new culture of visual learning by layering a familiar image on top of the map to be memorized. our item will look exactly like the product photos in this listing, including any white or textured borders.Everything is printed on easy-to-frame standard sizes, and we never crop or distort images.
