Ernest Dudley Chase (1878-1966) was an American artist and cartographer known for his unique style of hand-drawn maps. He gained fame for his intricate and decorative cartography, often referred to as "symbolic cartography" or "cartifacts."

In the context of cartography, Dudley Chase is recognized for his creation of the "Mercator Map of the World United," which was completed in 1942. The map is renowned for its artistic design and detailed hand-drawn elements, reflecting various aspects of human history, culture, and geography.

The "Mercator Map of the World United" was published during World War II and gained popularity for its attempts to promote global unity and understanding during a time of international conflict. It aimed to highlight common human experiences, achievements, and shared goals. The map used the Mercator projection, a common map projection that preserves straight lines and angles but distorts the size of land masses at high latitudes.

Ernest Dudley Chase gained recognition for his exceptional talent in woodblock printing and became associated with the Arts and Crafts movement in the United States. Chase's woodblock prints often depicted scenes of New England landscapes, historical buildings, and rural life. His style was characterized by intricate details, use of strong lines, and a strong sense of craftsmanship.

Chase's woodblock prints were popular during his lifetime, and he exhibited his works in various art shows and galleries. He also taught at the Rhode Island School of Design and published a book titled "Wood-block Prints of New England" in 1921, which showcased his artwork and printing techniques.
