Drawing on 700 years' worth of maps from the National Archives, this stunning and fascinating collection is not just about the history of the maps, but is also an insight into the places - whether cities, countries or the whole world - and the social history of the time that the mapmakers captured.

The National Archives at Kew, in west London, is the UK government's official archive, containing more than 1,000 years of history. In this book, Rose Mitchell and Andrew Janes draw on long experience as map archivists to act as guides through this treasure house, highlighting some of the most interesting, attractive and extraordinary examples to be found within its important and diverse map and plan collections.
