W artykule opisano rodzaje ozdób stosowanych na mapach ziem polskich począwszy od drugiej połowy XV wieku, zwracając szczególną uwagę na kartusze. Dokonano próby ich klasyfikacji zarówno pod względem budowy i charakteru ornamentów jak i spełnianej funkcji.
Cognitive and practical roles of maps have always been accompanied by the need to make them esthe-tically attractive. Originally pictures filled unchartered territories, substituting or complementing map's contents. With the development of geographic knowledge and growing density of contents, ornaments moved to the descriptive section, adding to its esthetic value and often acting as an extra source of information. Ornaments evolved with the development of art in particular periods, following tendencies and fashions of the time. Evolution of the art of ornamentation can be observed on the example of cartouches, which are most typical of ornaments. Cartouches can be grouped according to the main type of ornamentation they contain, their main motif. They can be: brass, floral, zoomorphic, anthropomorphic (with mythological characters, figures of saints, allegorical and historical scenes, portraits) with military, architectural and heraldic motifs. In the main field of a cartouche there was usually a map title, the name of the author or addressee, the date and place of publication, scale and additional text. Therefore we can recognize the following types of cartouches: title, legend, dedicational, scale, commentary and mixed. Sometimes the function of cartouche was performed by other ornamental elements, most commonly in the form of drapes, stone boards or obelisks. Some maps were surrounded by an ornamental frame, which might contain panoramas of cities, visages of people in regional outfits, portraits, historical and mythological scenes and floral motifs. In contemporary research on historic cartography ornamentation is perceived not only as a decorative element. It constitutes a major map identification factor - it helps to distinguish particular editions and printings, helps to establish dates and edition sequence. Elaborate ornamentation disappeared from cartography in the early XlXth century, when practical function of maps, drawn according to increasingly precise measurements began to dominate the decorative function. Gradually the role of the main decorative element of maps was taken over by the elaborate lettering used for non-cartographic contents. - Źródło:
