Sutton explores the fascinating but previously neglected history of corporate cartography during the Dutch Golden Age, from ca. 1600 to 1650. She examines how maps were used as propaganda tools for the Dutch West India Company in order to encourage the commodification of land and an overall capitalist agenda. Building her exploration around the central figure of Claes Jansz Vischer, an Amsterdam-based publisher closely tied to the Dutch West India Company, Sutton shows how printed maps of Dutch Atlantic territories helped rationalize the Dutch Republic's global expansion. Maps of land reclamation projects in the Netherlands, as well as the Dutch territories of New Netherland (now New York) and New Holland (Dutch Brazil), reveal how print media were used both to increase investment and to project a common narrative of national unity. Maps of this era showed those boundaries, commodities, and topographical details that publishers-state-sponsored corporate bodies-and the Dutch West India Company merchants and governing Dutch elite deemed significant to their agenda.0In the process, Sutton argues, they perpetuated and promoted modern state capitalism."--Front inside flap of dust jacket. 541 $a UNI: Faculty Publications Collection $5 IaCfT 541 $a UNI: Donated by Professor Jeffery Byrd, Head of the Art Department $5 IaCfT 583 1 $a Legacy $c 2017 $5 UoY 650 0 $a Cartography $z Netherlands $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Cartography $x Economic aspects $z Netherlands. 651 0 $a Netherlands $x Colonies $z America $v Maps. 650 0 $a Capitalism $z Netherlands $x History $y 17th century. 650 7 $a Kartografie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Wirtschaftsentwicklung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kolonialismus $2 gnd 651 7 $a Niederlande $2 gnd 856 4 $u https://www.library.uni.edu/gateway/giftplates/bookplate.php?plate=general.jpg&name=Professor+Jeffery+Byrd,+Head+of+the+Art+Department $z View Jeffery Byrd giftplate $x IaCfT 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010011400.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D67D4BF8CC5111E8987A620997128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
