Routledge & Kegan Paul, London, first edition, 1958. Cloth, 4to, 26 cm,. xi, 337 pp, ills, maps, charts. From the blurb: "The book may be regarded as a pictorial companion to general histories of exploration ...The maps used or drawn by explorers describe the borderland between the known and the unknown. Their evidence may tell us what a traveller expected to find or what he in fact discovered. They may have the authority of a prophecy, of a prospectus, or of a chronicle. In early maps information derived from theory and from experience is often inextricably entangled, and for this very reason they are important documents in the history both of geographical ideas and of geographical discovery. They illustrate the always shifting 'relation of observation, theory, and practice' in this field of science. Good in price-clipped and slightly worn dustwrapper.
