Buch
4 Bände (A-Z). Revised Edition. Mit zahlr. Illustrationen. XIV, 408 S.; VI, 462 S.; VI, 472 S.; VI, 436 S. "Behind the artefact of the map itself and the image it projects, there lies the complex story of its creation. Who supplied the information? Who draughted, engraved or printed the map? Who published or sold it? Many of these questions are answered in this revised edition (.), more than double the size of the original which was published 20 years ago. It is packed with new information on those from around the world who have been involved in the production of maps over the centuries. The biographical details have been augmented where possible, and a number of personalities are brought to life in the charming portraits, some of which have never been reproduced before. Coverage of other parts of the world has also been extended, including Europe, Japan, and the thriving map industry of 19th century North America. This revised edition also includes references for the first time, invaluable to the reader as a starting point for deeper research" (aus dem Klappentext). - Sehr gutes Exemplar.
