We have holograms and sophisticated computer graphics, but the
eighteenth-century was also vitally interested in enhancing the ways
people
visualized space, even inventing new technology, like the zograscope and
vue d'optique.  Join us for the first meeting of our millennial season
to
hear Erin Blake tell us about these devices and how they were used to
transcribe reality in the form of urban views.

Our monthly programs are held usually the third Thursday of the month.
non-member fee is $5.

Wilbert Stroeve
President, Chicago Map Society
