Description
Cartography is one of the oldest visual artforms. Historical maps allow for direct insight into earth's constantly changing natural and residential areas. In addition, cultural and historical developments can also be found reflected within them, since they always follow contemporary artistic, religious, or technological trends.
"Alte Landkarten" is designed for collectors of ancient maps and for all those interested in cartography. The author describes the development of the art of cartography, from antiquity to the end of the nineteenth century.
German language, hardcover with dust wrapper, 242 pages with illustrations, 1990.
