Square 4to (28.5 x 27 cm), VIII, 144 pp. Publisher's cloth with dust jacket (minor shelf wear). "For over two thousand years, people have drawn maps to help define the world they inhabit. Each mapmaker's perception of the world has been shaped by the religious, political, social, or economic climate of their time. From the classical Greek origins of the world map to the elaborately decorated manuscript and printed maps of the 17th and 18th centuries and on to scientific maps of the ocean floor, Peter Whitfield explores the history of world mapmaking through 70 outstanding examples. Each map is discussed in relation to its maker and the intellectual context of its time, situating it within the broader history of ideas." (From the blurb).
