Until December 1, 2002 - Williamsburg Another Scottish exhibition is hosted by Colonial Williamsburg At the Edge of the World: Mapping Scotland, a loan exhibition on display at the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum (http://www.history.org/visit/sp_events/exhibition.cfm#dewitt). The exhibition will feature 40-50 maps, charts and views that illustrate a fascinating blend of science and social history with some of the earliest efforts at the art of map making, a profession that emerged in the 15th century when Scotland was on the edge of the known world. Mapping Scotland will include an exploration of early maps and urban views of Britain and Scotland, nautical charts, elaborate coffee table atlases and other cartographic miscellany.
