Product Information

If we are to presume Modern College on Gleason’s map equates to Morden college, the patent date matches a time in history when the college housed “decayed” merchants. Founder John Morden established the college to provide board, lodging and a pension for merchants who had fallen on hard times. Morden was an international trader and member of the Levant (Turkey) Company and the East India Company, returning to London in 1660 having amassed a substantial fortune. The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles.” —US Patent No. 497,917 by Alexander Gleason

I source original, extremely rare maps from libraries, auction houses and private collections around the world, restore them at my London workshop, and then use specialist giclée inks and printers to create beautiful maps that look even better than the original. Gleason was born on November 28, 1827 – March 13, 1909, so was aged 65 years when releasing the map in 1892.Gleason’s map bears a patent date of November 15, 1892, granted in the United States, with applications made in several other countries. It features two indicator hands that reflect a time chart, rather than a map, used to ascertain the time in any part of the world relative to your own meridian time. In all, a great rarity of late-19 th century pseudoscience, raising intriguing questions of authorship and intellectual antecedents. Many country and city names are on this map. Feel free to message me if you want to confirm if a certain label is on the map or not. The patent granted was for a mechanical device – a time chart, rather than a map. The two indicator hands (depicted in Figure 2) are used to ascertain the time of day or night, in any part of the world, corresponding to your own meridian time Goldhaber-Gordon said GPS is “based on not only an (approximately) spherical earth but also the special and general theories of relativity” that “would make no sense in any flat earth picture,” which is why anyone using GPS is relying on the roundness of the earth.

Gleason’s map and theories were not well received, especially in the local Buffalo press, which often lambasted his claims. Among the critics were publications like The Buffalo Commercial and Democrat (Wichita, KS), the latter even challenging Newton, Galileo, and Columbus’ theories in relation to Gleason’s propositions. Goldhaber-Gordon added that this experiment would show that “locations close to the south pole appear far apart on the map,” although that is not the reality. towards him, and therefore when stopped by the officers of the customs with the inquiry if he had any contraband goods with him, he replied: ‘No, no; there is nothing contraband here but myself. ’ The inquiry of the King, on his arrival, as to the decree of Parliament being still in force against him made him uneasy, but nothing further was done to molest him. The actors waited on him in a body. We have come,’ said they to beseech you to inspire us with your odes.’ ‘I live only for you and through you,’ was his answer; ‘ Death As Gleason’s map is centered on the north pole, the edges indicate the south pole. Experts told Reuters that Antarctica is clearly visible as the white ring on the perimeter of the map, contrary to claims by social media users that the continent is not shown.

The so-called “Gleason Map” is an old map published in the 19th century. The author was a flat-Earther who claimed the map as the “flat Earth map.” In reality, the map is just a normal azimuthal equidistant map centered on the North Pole. Anyone who cares can make observations (of the moon's phases, of time zones, of constellations) that can all be understood in the context of a round earth but would be hard to explain otherwise without separate reasons for each observation,” he added,
