Satirical cartography is a form of art, exposing stereotypes and political messages with comical geopolitical illustrations.[http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/HOC/HOC_V3_Pt1/HOC_VOLUME3_Part1_chapter14.pdf Cartography and Literature in Early Modern France] Satirical cartography dates back to the late 18th century and early 19th century. Hanna Humphrey and Frederick W. Rose are among the earliest pioneers in cartoon-ish maps.[http://earthinvision.com/2012/12/satirical-cartography-frederick-w-rose/ Earth in Vision 2012]
