"A considerable literature has grown up in recent years on the subject of Cartography, but by far the greater part of this output is highly specialized, and for the most part scattered in the publications of various learned societies not often obtainable by the student or collector, or in limited and expensive monographs. It is to fill this desideratum that this book has been compiled, the aim being to give information and illustrations of the principal map-makers and their work from the earliest times to the nineteenth century, combining an appreciation of the popular decorative side of early maps with historical and bibliographical notes." from the Prefface.
