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
