Puntos De Conteo

Description

The need to record and quantify manifested in a visual language of marks and points. From the 16th to the 19th century, across diverse Ibero-American geographies, these notations reveal the organization of resources and populations. They illustrate how accounting and administration shaped the representation of the world.
