Excerpt from Maps Reproduced as Glass Transparencies: Selected to Represent the Development of Map-Making From the First to the Seventeenth Century

IN this exhibit the attempt has been made to illustrate the development of map-making, and the expansion of geographical knowledge as cartographically represented, from Roman days to modern times. The forty-one maps selected are typical. The fact, however, is recognized that in so limited a number of reproductions many of the details and peculiarities, which are characteristic of the maps drawn during this long period, do not appear.
