Abstract

The Carte do Cassini is the first accurate topographic map of an entire country and it influenced enormously in the development of cartography in other countries. The purpose of this paper is to examine the production process and characteristics of the Carte do Cassini, and to and the place of 'Carte de Cassini' in the development of cartography. For this, firstly, the background of French national topographic mapping is examined and scientific work of the Cassini family is resumed. Second, the map production process is considered; location and attribute data collection, copperplate printing, social and economic difficulties. Third, map characteristics such as map projection, sheet numbering system, positional accuracy, legend, typographies, and depiction of cartographic signs are explored. Finally, the influence of the Carte de Cassini on cartographic development and its historical meaning is discussed.

카시니 지도는 세계 최초의 국가 지형도로, 세계 각국의 지도 발달에 많은 영향을 미쳤다. 본 논문의 목적은 카시니 지도의 지도학적 특성 및 의의를 고찰하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 먼저 프랑스 국가 지형도 제작의 역사적 배경에 대해 살펴보았다. 그리고 지도제작자인 카시니 일가 4대의 과학적 업적을 정리하여, 요약하였다. 둘째, 지도의 제작 과정을 위치자료와 속성 자료 수집, 동판제작, 사회 경제적 장애요인의 극복의 관점에서 살펴보았다. 세 번째로 투영법, 도엽번호체계, 정확도, 범례, 문자사용, 표현 특성을 분석하였다. 마지막으로, 카시니 지도가 지도학 발달사에서 가지는 의의를 논의하였다.
