The British Library's map collection is the national cartographic collection of Britain and numbers around four million maps dating from 15 CE to 2017 CE. These include road maps drawn for 13th century pilgrims and sea charts for 17th-century pirates. They include the first printed map to show the Americas and the last to show English-controlled Calais. They include the world's biggest and smallest atlases. They include maps for kings and queens, popes, ministers, schoolchildren, soldiers, tourists. There are maps which changed the world. As well as comprehensively showcasing the varied and surprising treasures of the British Library's "banquet of maps" for the first time, this book will examine the evolution of humanity's perceptions of the world through maps. By looking at how this map collection was assembled principally over two and a half centuries but in reality over a millennium, the book comprises a cartographic history of the world, as well as vivid celebration of the world's best map collection's best maps.

3.0 out of 5 stars An incompetent publication of a beautiful selection of maps
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2018
Verified Purchase
The maps in this book are beautiful, and the selection is great. However, it fails on two scores: too many of the maps run over a double page without filling the page, so you get all the disadvantages of having the spine in the middle of the map without the benefit of being able to read the damn thing. And secondly, the accompanying text irritatingly puts a dipthong above the “s” when it is followed by a “t” (and just think how many times those letters go together in English); once you notice it, it’s impossible to ignore, making the interesting explanations almost unreadable.
