As the story unfolds, we see how much we owe the cartographers of previous ages who painstakingly assembled the puzzle of the earth's shape, bit by little bit. Their striking maps are included here~maps that stand as works of art in their own right. Innumerable social, political, and economic influences shaped the growing art of mapmaking. The many dangerous voyages undertaken by explorers were invaluable. For instance, until 1606 when Dutch traders mistakenly landed on Australia, this vast continent was no more than a legend. Religious traditions left their mark, such as during medieval times when Christian symbolism took precedence over accuracy. Astronomical and mathematical discoveries furthered the growth of cartography, as did the development of new printing techniques. In fact, the history of cartography provides a unique and fascinating perspective on the history of the world. After first sketching the evolution of cartography in general, the authors discuss chronologically the exploration and mapping of Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and finally the last continent to be discovered, Australia. These developments are readily seen in the profusion of illustrations that accompany the text~over 350 in all, showing maps, portraits of explorers and cartographers, and detail from important contemporary publications. Of special interest are the fourteen fold~out facsimile maps by master cartographers, most in full~color. Each of these handsome maps is a representation of the views of the world and mapmaking techniques in vogue when it was drawn. For example, during the great artistic era of cartography, roughly 1450 to 1650, maps were embellished with a wide range of symbols to convey information on everything from national dress to natural resources. As Gerald Roe Crone says in his preface, these maps "are in fact more than delineations of the known world~they are popular encyclopedias." A detailed index and bibliography complete the book. LANDMARKS OF MAPMAKING will be treasured not only by the growing number of lovers of old maps but by everyone interested in the history of exploration, who will find here a rich and original source of information.
