Cave wanted to create a storehouse of knowledge and he employed some of London's best writers to fill his pages: Samuel Johnson gained his first regular employment by writing for the Gentleman's Magazine. Other famous contributors included Jonathan Swift. The publication covered a broad range of topics from literature to politics and from 1739 frequently used maps as illustrations. The first map they printed was a woodcut of Crimea; the second was a fold-out map of Ukraine by Emanuel Bowen. Maps were used to show battle lines to chronicle voyages and to educate about areas with which Britain traded. Certain geographers like Thomas Jefferys contributed several maps to the publication.
