A cartographer runs a printing press.

True or False?

Asked by Stofflet685

Answer (2)

False, cartography is the science and the art of making maps. Cartography combines the scientific knowledge of the world, with aesthetics or quality, as well certain techniques to create maps. Therefore, a cartographer is an individual who makes maps not an individual who runs a printing press.

The statement is false. A cartographer specializes in creating maps, while operating a printing press is not their main job. Their role combines geographic data and artistic representation to produce useful maps.
