TOOLEY'S DICTIONARY OF MAPMAKERS A-D ~ Revised, 1999 ~ HCDJ ~ Cartography ~ Maps

Description: TOOLEY'S DICTIONARY OF MAPMAKERS: A-DEditor: Josephine FrenchRevised Edition, 1999 From Front Flap of Dust Jacket:"Maps have an undeniable attraction. Not only are they illustrations of spatial patterns and relationships, older maps are also testaments to the knowledge and ways of thinking of former times. The miracle of their survival, particularly when on such an apparently delicate and perishable material as paper, adds to this intellectual appeal. The sheer beauty of many maps and atlases has also helped to make them one of the great collectibles of the world. "Behind the artefact of the map itself and the image it projects, there lies the complex story of its creation. Who supplied the i nformation? Who draughted, engraved or printed the map? Who published or sold it? "Many of these questions are answered in this revised edition of Tooley's Dictionary of Mapmakers, more than double the size of the original which was published 20 years ago. It is packed with new information on those from around the world who have been involved in the production of maps over the centuries. The biographical details have been augmented where possible, and a number of personalities are brought to life in the charming portraits, some of which have never been reproduced before. This revised edition also includes references for the first time, invaluable to the reader as a starting point for deeper research." "But this is not simply a biographical dictionary. where possible it also refers to others including artists, craftsmen, draughtsmen, and engravers with whom the individual collaborated in the course of their work."
