Description
With over 390 illustrations, "De Geschiedenis van de Cartografie" covers from the earliest city plans of the ancient world to the topography of 19th-century Europe. In this historical overview, John Gross describes how important mapmakers, such as Ptolemy, Mercator, Ortelius, and Cassini, reflect the knowledge of their time, how pioneering explorers and settlers pushed the boundaries of the known world, and how craftsmen and inventors developed new printing techniques and measuring instruments, making increasingly accurate maps available.
Dutch language, hardcover with dust wrapper, 278 pages with illustrations, 1994.
