Descrizione
Roy. 4to., First Edition, with 12 coloured plates and 72 monochrome plates; burgundy cloth, upper board blocked in gilt, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy. The first form of this work, by Humphreys, appeared in 1926 designed as a picture book to illustrate the wealth of a notable collection. Skelton's classic reworking serves both as a specimen book and a guide to the study of maps printed from wood blocks or copper-plates from the birth of mapmaking to the eve of scientific cartography. The majority of plates in the original work have been retained and twenty-two new illustrations added, together with a bibliography.
