内容説明
The 75 original maps in facsimile that comprise this collection cover a period of over eight centuries. With their aid, 2000 years of the history of exploration and art of charting this huge continent can be traced. These maps are the most beautiful and geographically significant ones made by the leading cartographers of the day and ordered by the most prominent map commissioners. The collection begins with copies of antique charts made in the 12th century, continues with medieval Turkish Arab and European maps and concludes with the increasingly accurate cartography of seafaring nations and explorers from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The hand-drawn and printed maps are arranged in sequence to show the ever wider regions encompassed by the cartographers. In the case of the printed maps, the facsimiles have been made from first editions.
