From the blurb - "In Maps and Map-Makers Mr. R. V. Tooley, who is well known as an authority on the history of Cartography, has written the first general work dealing with the whole subject. From the earliest beginnings of Cartography down to the mid-nineteenth century Mr., Tooley traces the development of Map-Making, combining an appreciation, of the popular decorative side of old maps with historical and biographical notes on individual cartographers and their work. Mr. Tooley traces the history of Maps chiefly through the achievements of the great Map-Makers - mainly English and Dutch, but also belonging to Arabia, Italy, France,* Germany and other countries. Each Chapter deals with the maps of a particular country and after each is a list - of particular value to the collector - giving the most important maps of that country and their dates. In the case of England the author goes into rather greater detail, with sections on County Maps, Marine Atlases, Large-Scale Maps and County Atlases. The illustrations are another feature of great value to the collector and amateur of old maps. They are over 100 in number and include eight colour plates, numerous half-tone reproductions, and a selection in line of decorative , cartouches, scales, ornaments, etc. Maps of the British Isles are extensively reproduced, and there are also sections on the maps of the Empire Countries and of America."
