Hello All,

Researchers asked me if there is a specific term for the artwork on a map.  More specifically, they were looking at the illustrations surrounding the title block.  Is there a term to describe this feature on a map?   Example attached.

A follow-up question.  It there a term for the artist illustrations which create the margins of a map?

Thank you,
Dawn Collings
