Bernard Cahill (photo: Laurie Cahill Huber).

This map is based on the Butterfly Map, an Octahedral System of Projection invented by Bernard Joseph Stanislaus Cahill in the first decade of the 20th century. Cahill was born in London in 1866. He attended Ratcliffe College (University of London) and the South Kensington School of Art before venturing to the United States in 1888, where he worked as an architect specialising – amongst other things – in mortuary and mausoleum design; he was sometime editor of the American Builders Review. During his life, Cahill was a Fellow of the Royal Geological Society and the Royal Meteorological Society, a Member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Architects and the British Institute of Philosophical Studies. He invented the Butterfly Map, depicting landmasses to scale and with minimum disturbance of angles, with the needs of the scholarly community in mind, providing a more suitable alternative to the 16th-century Mercator projection, originally designed for nautical purposes. Cahill died in 1944. The Butterfly Map had made little impact on his contemporaries, but to mark the 99th anniversary of its 1913 patent, a redrawn version (thanks to Letty Ten Harkel) is presented here.

Projects that have a broader theoretical or conceptual focus and cannot be regionally situated are not included on the map.
