Working with David Woodward (U. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), historical geographer Harley (1932-91) finished the first volume of the History of Cartography before he died. He had already chosen the essays for this collection, but did not leave notes for the extensive introduction he planned nor indicate the extent to which the essays were to be edited. J. H. Andrews (geography, Trinity College, Dublin) introduces and Paul Laxton (historical geography, U. of Liverpool) annotates the seven essays on making maps since the earliest known efforts.

J. B. Harley lectured in historical geography at the Universities of Liverpool and Exeter before moving to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His ideas on the meaning of maps have influenced not just geographers and map historians but also students of art history and literature. At Milwaukee he began, with David Woodward, the multivolume History of Cartography, the first volume of which was published in 1987. Paul Laxton is a professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Liverpool.
