Frank Jacobs and his Strange Maps
Strange indeed. Frank Jacobs is the map-obsessed blogger behind “Strange Maps.”
Jacobs has spent a lifetime pondering maps of all kinds and finally found an outlet: cyberspace.
Aaron Schachter talks to Jacobs about his attraction to maps and how they’ve evolved over the centuries from a tool for navigation to a venue for artistic expression and weird facts.
