description: Histories of cartography have long suffered from a common major deficiency j- they ignore or slight the technical history of map printing. This volume of essays, originally prepared in 1972 for the third series of Kenneth Nebenzahl, Jr., Lectures, is a ground-breaking work that brings together the basic knowledge of the historical techniques of map printing. The book’s selected bibliography and many illustrations contribute to its importance as a reference work. The distinguished contributors include Cor. Koeman, Elizabeth M. Harris, Walter W. Ristow, Arthur H. Robinson, Coolie Verner, and David Woodward. They essays constitute a distillation of each expert contributor’s basic research in the subject over many years. ‘New Scientist’ Magazine said “This splendidly illustrated collection of essays conveys much technical detail in an agreeable way”.
