Views

Unlike traditional maps, views show the landscape from the perspective of an observer. Some views are simple, near schematic renderings of a horizon meant to aid navigation, but others are so fine as to be indistinguishable from landscape art. Image: detail from Richard Williams, [Dorchester Neck], 1775.
