Concentrating on the coasts of Britain and Ireland, the chart illustrates Whewell’s revolutionary concept of cotidal lines—curves connecting places at which high tide occurs simultaneously, a term he himself coined. While the chart acknowledges earlier work by John William Lubbock (1831), it represents Whewell’s decisive advance in synthesising vast quantities of observational data into a coherent and predictive model of tidal propagation. His research depended on observations gathered by thousands of volunteers at coastal locations worldwide, now regarded as one of the earliest examples of citizen science. The chart stands as a landmark in the development of tidal science and one of the foundational achievements of 19th-century thematic cartography.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52132961878363,"sku":"P-6-111132","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-111132a.jpg?v=1769714597"},{"product_id":"world-chart-illustrating-whewell-s-tidal-theory-for-the-royal-society-1833-map-p-6-111131","title":"World Chart illustrating Whewell’s tidal theory for the Royal Society 1833 map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e'Chart of the World, between the latitudes of 60° N and 55° S.

Extending globally between latitudes 60° north and 55° south, the chart defines tidal behaviour through the use of cotidal lines—a term coined by Whewell—linking coastal and oceanic locations that experience high (or low) tide at the same time. While the map acknowledges earlier work by John William Lubbock (1831), it represents Whewell’s decisive advance in synthesising vast quantities of observational data into a coherent, global, predictive model of tidal propagation. Whewell recruited thousands of volunteers at coastal locations worldwide to collect the observations required for his research, in what is now regarded as one of the earliest examples of citizen science. As one of the first printed world charts devoted to tidal science, the map marks a foundational moment in both physical oceanography and thematic cartography.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52132962074971,"sku":"P-6-111131","price":500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-111131a.jpg?v=1769714599"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/philosophical-transactions-of-the-royal-society.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
