History of CartographyAuthor(s): Leo Bagrow\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781412811545, 978-1412811545\nSynopsis\nThis illustrated work is intended to acquaint readers with the early maps produced in both Europe and the rest of the world, and to tell us something of their development, their makers and printers, their varieties and characteristics. The authors' chief concern is with the appearance of maps: they exclude any examination of their content, or of scientific methods of mapmaking. This book ends in the second half of the eighteenth century, when craftsmanship was superseded by specialized science and the machine. As a history of the evolution of the early map, it is a stunning work of art and science.\n\nThis expanded second edition of Bagrow and Skelton's History of Cartography marks the reappearance of this seminal work after a hiatus of nearly a half century. As a reprint project undertaken many years.
