I love these, Claire! I really want to see them. I'd love to hold them too, but obvs that's not possible - I wonder if there is any business for local craftspeople making replicas?

The Ammassalik maps are only 140 years old, so don’t do much to prove diagrams are ‘almost permanent’.

I’ve been thinking about this for my own project, specifically with the angle of multiple maps showing different, opinionated ‘facets’ of the actual territory
Like historical T and O maps, Inuit driftwood maps (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammassa...); information relevance over geographical accuracy

I 15 år tog han billeder i Østgrønland og skildrede den kontroversielle tid, hvor moderniseringen tog fart
En ny bog med fotos taget af en grønlandsk amatørfotograf giver et helt enestående indblik i dengang, den moderne verden kom til Østgrønland. I 1950’erne og 60’erne tog Arkaluk Bianco flere tusind fotos af dagliglivet i sin hjemby, Ammassalik, og dokumenterede således den moderniseringsprocess, som var drevet af danskerne, som lige nu er voldsomt til debat. Helene Brochmann, som står for udgivelsen af bogen, fortæller her historien bag.

oh yes Ammassalik maps are really interesting! it's a very different idea of what a map is shaped like than the encyclopedic data-for-all-points approach.
