Rumsey, David, 1944- / Punt, Edith M., 1969-. Cartographica extraordinaire: the historical map transformed. Redlands, Calif.: ESRI Press, 2004, stated First Printing, March 2004, 147pp., very good dust-jacket with slightest waviness on reverse on the overlapping folded margin, invisible from outside and only sensed by moving one's hand over the jacket, near fine oversized maroon red cloth. "David Rumsey's collection of historical maps is one of the largest and most complete of its kind. Focused for the most part on North and South America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the collection is comprised of more than 150,000 items: maps, atlases, and contextual supporting documents. Unlike similar collections, the delicacy and rarity of which necessitate careful storage and restricted-use policies, The Rumsey Collection is available in growing numbers on the Web - and it is this conjunction of old and new technologies that is the heart of Cartographica Extraordinaire." - CONTENTS: Introduction : the historical map transformed -- Exploring a new world -- Venturing into the interior -- Drawing patterns on the land -- Showing the shape of the land -- Connecting place to place -- Settling into the city -- Afterword : The brick, the mortar, the pixel -- Chronological image bibliography. 9781589480445 ISBN 1589480449.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "Cartographia Extraordinaire alluringly presents the highlights of a remarkable collection of historical maps. What makes this book stand out from other published map archives, though, is its reflection of the generosity, energy, and intellectual curiosity of David Ramsey. Not satisfied with merely amassing a hoard of handsome old maps, Rumsey, who has already shared his collection with us online, shows us in these breathtaking pages why old maps are so interesting. In the process of telling stories about maps, handsomely reproducing maps, enlarging map details, stitching maps together, and combining maps with the latest digital data, Rumsey and Punt expose us to the joyous disorder of cartophilia." -- Allen Carroll, Chief Cartographer, National Geographic Society.
