Look back to when the Americas were still the "New World", and mapmaking was still a fine art. Now available and in print at less than half its previous price, this oversized, painstakingly compiled classic collection of early printed maps from 1472 to 1700 portrays a revolution in progress. As explorers arrived in lands formerly unknown to Europe, and returned home with accounts of their travels, cartography changed to reflect new ideas. Over 600 examples in both color and black and white, range from the simple to the highly decorative. Isidore of Seville's 1472 small woodcut map -- the first ever printed -- portrays the world in miniature, with continents represented only in words. Hans Rust's elaborate medieval map (c. 1480), by contrast, has labels, scrolls, and dozens of small drawings. Francesco Rosselli's map, made roughly in 1508, already incorporates the Americas. A section of charts provides information on cartographic developments in a glance.
