'The delight of antique maps is as much in their beauty as their historical and rarity value. Sought after and jealously guarded by collectors and museums, they are seldom exposed to public view. This book contains a selection of about thirty of the most splendid maps in the renowned collection of Dr. Oscar Norwich, chosen to illustrate the development of the art and science of map-making over the last half a millennium, since the days of the Renaissance explorers. The discovery and exploration of southern Africa is revealed in these maps, each individually reproduced and with its own cartobibliography.' - editor's note
