Présentation de l'éditeur :
This book presents a selection of ocean-going charts dating from the 13th century to the 17th century. Rudimentary they may perforce be, but they bear excellent witness to the achievements of the early European navigators, and to their determination to explore the ends of the Earth. What the charts may lack in geographical accuracy, they undoubtedly make up for in their charm. And of course they are invaluable as historical records. Recounting the epic journeys of maritim exploration, from Erik the Red to Robert Peary, author Donald Wigal leads us gently and pleasurably from Terra Incognita to the World As We Know It.
Biographie de l'auteur :
Donald Wigal has long been fascinated by historical archives and documents. He is always ready to travel the world at a moment's notice in search of a newly-discovered old chart. An art historian of considerable academic standing, Donald Wigal is a major contributor to the Academic American Encyclopedia and a noted biographer of historic personalities.

Description du livre 162 x 146 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 255, incl. index; lavishly illustrated in full colour. Fine condition. "Maps, even those dating from centuries ago, constantly influence our daily lives. They are one of the things which are part of our daily environment. Throughout history, besides having a utilitarian function, every single map symbolizes the period of time in which it was created. . While the map maker's vision might later prove to be inadequate, or even incorrect, the unique truth is that his map expresses a story that might not be revealed in any other way. It may well be said that each map maker has effectively traveled in his mind vicariously not only to the envisioned places, but also to the future.". N° de réf. du vendeur 12591
