This is my contribution to Daniel Huffman’s projection cards project. My projection, Eckert V, isn’t recommended for use anymore, and was introduced in 1906. I thought it would be interesting to try and portray the world as it was when Eckert V was first released, with much of the world divided up between global empires. That data came from the University of Minnesota’s Historical National Boundaries dataset, which the authors very kindly granted me permission to use.

It was so much fun being part of a larger project, and thrilling to get a copy of my final card in the mail!
