BiographyRichard Edes Harrison's father is the biologist Ross Granville Harrison. he was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1901[2]. He spent his youth in New Haven and went to Yale College where he gratuated whith a major in zoology and a minor in chemistry[2]. He worked for a time as a draftsman, working for the architect Cass Gilbert and decided to become an architect himself. To this effect, he went to the Yale School of Fine Arts in 1926 and spent four years there. Yet, in 1930, during the Great Depression, employment prospects for architects were not good[2] so he made a living by working as a designer. Harrison came to cartography "by chance" in 1932 when a friend asked him to momentarily replace a mapmaker working for Fortune[3]. During World War II, his cartographic visualizations became very popular. He challenged the traditional Mercator projections, which are Euro-centric and East–West minded. His World representation using an azimuthal projection that was first published by Fortune in August 1941 under the title "The World Divided"[4] became highly popular and was widely copied. [5] He wanted to illustrate that "the entire conflict pivots around the U.S"[4]. A latter version entitled "One World, One War" was published on Fortune in March 1942.[6] The US Army ordered 18000 copies of it.[1] It displayed United States as a pivotal element of the World War, displaying how close it was to Nazi Germany occupied territories[5]. The design of the United Nations logo was influenced by his azimuthal projection.[5][7] Harrison soon became a freelance cartographer for Fortune and Time. He was from 1936 to 1938 on the staff of Fortune. He worked from the 1940s to the 1950s as a map consultant at the State Department, and was also employed by the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor of the CIA and the Museum of Modern Art. He lectured at Clark, Syracuse, Columbia and Trinity Universities[8]. He was a member of the American Geographical Society and the Royal Geographical Society[8]. Publications
