First published in in 1927 as the second edition of a 1921 original, this book provides an overview of the history and techniques of map production. The text is illustrated with examples of several different types of maps, and discusses cartographical points such as panoramas, the way in which surfaces are expressed graphically, and the incorporation of art into older maps. Fordham also advises teachers on how to incorporate maps and cartography into teaching. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in historical maps.
