Item description from seller

192 pp, illustrated throughout in full colour, appendices, bibliography, index. Pictorial laminated boards in jacket. Some fading to edges of jacket, prev owner bookplate inside front cover. The book is in two parts: Old maps and their origins; and Key Maps--Australia, the Pacific and Antarctica with an epilogue: Post-Federation Maps (1901-1950). 'The maps are not only significant for the information they carry, but many of them are also fine works of art, reflecting the aesthetic values of the time. The book breaks new ground in cartographic presentation in that the maps are set in context, with valuable background information on such topics as the problems of navigation, the map makers and European map trade'. Size: 4to.
