Sobre este artículo
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. An ex-library copy with a label on the front pastedown endpaper, a partly removed label on the front free endpaper, stamp on the title-page, and tapemarks on the verso of the rear free endpaper, otherwise a Good clean copy.

Sobre Wykeham Books
We specialize chiefly in "books about books", the emphasis being on historical aspects of book collecting, production and distribution. A particular speciality is in bibliographies, of all subjects of interest to collectors, dealers and scholars, with several thousand bibliography titles in stock. Other strengths include extensive holdings of auction catalogues for book sales and a good selction of reference material on and facsimiles of illuminated manuscripts. We also have a special interest in rare material by or about Rudyard Kipling.
