MAPS AND MAP-MAKERS

Fourth edition: 140 pages, 104 colour and black & white illustrations, publisher’s brown cloth, a very good copy in the dust jacket.

‘This standard work gives full information and illustrations of the principal map-makers and map publishers and their work from the earliest times to the nineteenth century, combining an appreciation of the popular decorative side of early maps with historical and bibliographical notes. For this new edition a fresh general bibliography has been provided, the lists of authorities at the ends of the chapters have been extended and numerous minor corrections and additions to the text have been made.’ Editor’s note.
