About This Item
Carta Press, London, first edition, 1969. Cloth, 4to, 25 cm,. xvi, 132 pp, 52 leaves of plates (some colour). ills. From the blurb: "Mr. Tooley, a recognised authority on the subject, has written this book for collectors of printed maps of Africa, Southern Afnca and the Cape. One of the major problems confronting the collector is that of identifying the maps he collects... In this book Mr. Tooley lists and describes nearly 500 maps in such detail as to facilitate identification. He gives the full title, maker's name - often a short biography - size, date, edition or re-issue, significant internal changes and variations. In addition, as an indispensable visual aid to identification the book contains more than 100 full-page reproductions of maps, six in full colour. The Introduction discusses many aspects of map production of considerable value to the collector. While the emphasis is on maps of Africa, much of the information is of real help in identifying maps of other parts of the world since many of them are from general atlases and the information given by Mr. Tooley is often applicable.
