Item description from seller

Folio (36.5 cm), 276 pp, including 14 folding maps. Publisher's cloth with dust jacket (minor shelf wear). Covering over 2000 years of cartographic history, this richly illustrated volume traces the evolution of mapmaking from early Eskimo bone carvings to the precision of modern scientific maps. Following an introductory chapter on the development of cartography, the book is organized chronologically, with separate chapters devoted to the exploration and mapping of Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Australia. More than 350 illustrations accompany the text, including maps discussed, portraits of explorers and cartographers, title pages and frontispieces of significant publications, and many additional images. A detailed index and a comprehensive bibliography are also included.
