Maps That Made History: The Influential, the Eccentric and the Sublime
 "Enlarge Image")
Few people can resist the appeal of old maps and plans. Even in these days of disposable mapping – from satellite navigation to customized road directions at the click of a mouse – the historical map continues to present a unique perspective on our changing world. Here we explore 25 glorious examples. The emphasis is on the story behind the map: what it reveals about its creators and users, from the first explorers to the soldiers of the Second World War. This thought-provoking collection features maps that chart societies as well as land, sea and skies; maps that have influenced and inspired; and perhaps most revealing of all, maps that misrepresent.
