Antique Maps Collection (2-CD Set) Maps CDs: History

The 16th century was the time of exploring the world and recording the findings in charts. Ortelius' atlas was unique in that it furnished, for the first time, a description of the maps. In recent years Ortelius maps have become scarce. What these maps lack in terms of accuracy, they more than make up for with their highly decorative drawings of ships, monsters, mermaids, cartouches and topographic detail.

Another mapmaker of note from that era was Battista Agnese whose style and presentation were unique, highly imaginative and artistic as is witnessed in the 14 charts included in this CD. William Harvey's use of vivid imagery to depict European nations of the times is fascinating, colorful and a feast for the eyes. While being recognized as works of exquisite art, they provide a fairly accurate outline of several European nations.

The progressive march towards refinement and emphasis on accuracy is evident as you study the maps in chronological order. The 20th century map of India epitomizes the accuracy mapmakers had achieved by this time. Commentaries furnished with many of the maps provide biographical information related to engraving and printing and extensive narrative on the sources of the geographical content of the maps. Many of the main legends are translated into English and make detailed analysis easier. The provision made for zooming in on specific areas of maps facilitates a detailed study of desired maps and charts.
