Satirical cartography

Satirical cartography is a form of art, exposing stereotypes and political messages with comical geopolitical illustrations.^[1] Satirical cartography dates back to the late 18th century and early 19th century. Hanna Humphrey and Frederick W. Rose are among the earliest pioneers in cartoonish maps.^[2]

In some cases, satirical cartography is meant to critique places and peoples or alternatively the stereotypes forming around given places and peoples.^[3] They are often used as a way to communicate a message or influence ideas, rather than present objective geographic features.^[4] Satirical cartography has also been used as a justification for war, leading multiple satire maps depicting World War I to be created.^[5]
