A divide between aesthetic and technical considerations has played a crucial role in
mapmaking and cartographic scholarship. Since nineteenth century cartographers, for instance,
understood themselves as technicians who did not care about visual effects, while others saw
themselves as landscape painters. That dichotomy structured the discipline of the history of
cartography. Until the 1980s, in what Blakemore and Harley called “the Old is Beautiful Paradigm,”
scholars largely focused on maps made before 1800, marveling at their beauty and sometimes
regretting the decline of the pre-technical age. Early mapmaking was considered art while modern
cartography was located within the realm of engineering utility. Alpers, however, has argued that
this boundary would have puzzled mapmakers in the seventeenth century, because they
considered themselves to be visual engineers.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that, beginning in the 1980s, historians of cartography
A. placed greater emphasis on the beauty of maps made after 1800
B. expanded their range of study to include more material created after 1800
C. grew more sensitive to the way mapmakers prior to 1800 conceived of their work
D. came to see the visual details of maps as aesthetic objects rather than practical
cartographic aids
E. reduced the attention they paid to the technical aspects of mapmaking
