* This lavishly illustrated history of the golden age of cartography, from the 16th through to the 19th centuries, explores not only the embellishments on maps but also what they reveal about the world in which they were created.
I purchased this for my son who has a special interest in maps and map making. He said it was incredibly informative, and I thought it was interesting and beautiful to look at.
