(Hat tip: the winsome Jonathan Caws-Elwitt)  A map of the Arctic Ocean or the White Sea.  From The Simple Jography by Oliver Herford, 1908.  An entire atlas of seemingly blanks maps: The Carte Blanche Atlas.

From Texas Wesleyan College's 1941 yearbook.  Related: The Minimalist Coloring Book.

A "remarkable photograph of the wind."  From Purple Parrot, 1922.

"The way with most of us -- nothing under the hat."  Lately, most folks don't even have hats, either.  From Manchester College's 1929 yearbook.

"Let's begin with nothing."  From Improvement Era, 1962.

"Don't go to any pub named after authors (Dickens) or characters (Sherlock Holmes).  When in doubt about a pub, find open water (river, lake) and you will find good pubs there!"  This London pub map from 1994 was drawn for Jonathan Caws-Elwitt.

From Casserole, Oct. 23, 1970.

From Medical College of Virginia's 1926 yearbook.

Two whole pages are dedicated to the snow of 1976 (though the yearbook is dated 1977, of course it covers the months previous).  We appreciate the accuracy of the coverage.  From Rend Lake's 1977 yearbook.  Speaking of pregnantly blank maps, see this extraordinarily usual thing: The Carte Blanche Atlas.

A blindfold is a powerful tool for making a blank map even blanker.  From The Film Daily, 1932.  See The Carte Blanche Atlas of seemingly impossibly blank maps.

From The Martlet, 1965.

A photo of a landmark of natural beauty, taken after darkness had fallen but presented with the greatest pf pride.  From Swarthmore's 1926 yearbook.

"You figure it out."  It's actually a map, and we can even prove it: see The Carte Blanche Atlas.

From National-Louis' 1968 yearbook.

It's when a page is missing outside of a book that one should really begin worrying.  The text reads, "Pages missing within the book only."  From the scan of The Psychology of Feeling and Emotion by Christian Ruckmick, 1936.

"In the map your heart is taking the curves.  Sometimes you miss one in the borderlands.  Sometimes you get there with the help of the saints."  From Mothers News, 2013.

Normally we'd be all for this sort of thing, but the brutal truth is that this particular Non-Written Comix panel does nothing for us.  From The Martlet. 1977.

Here's a jester who lets you fill in your own punch line.  From Le Charivari, 1880.

This memorial would have been more poignant had the page actually been left blank and not filled with words.  Then again, how is one to know when a page has been intentionally left blank?  From George Washington's 1993 yearbook.

Here's a blank map from Jim White's No Such Place album.

It's so difficult to empathize with yearbook editors.  Not only did these ham-fists mismanage their content and find themselves inexplicably unable to delete blank pages, but they had the audacity to encourage folks left out of the yearbook to draw themselves and their friends in with crayon.  (The implication is that if you were left out, your loser friends were left out too.)  Offensive.  From Monclair's 1977 yearbook.  For peace of mind, see How to Hoodoo Hack a Yearbook.
