Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Britain and Ireland enjoy a rich cartographic heritage, yet historians have not made full use of early maps in their writings and research. This is partly due to a lack of information about exactly which maps are available. With the publication of this volume from the Royal Historical Society, we now have a comprehensive guide to the early maps of Great Britain. The book is divided into two parts: part one describes the history and purpose of maps in a series of short essays on the early mapping of the British Isles; part two comprises a guide to the collections, national and regional. Now available from Cambridge University Press, this volume provides an essential reference tool for anyone requiring to access maps of the British Isles dating back to the medieval period and beyond.

Download or read book A Map of the County of Cornwall written by Joel Gascoyne and published by Devon & Cornwall Record Society. This book was released on 1991 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joel Gascoyne's Map of Cornwall, published in 1699, set new standards in county map making. He used a larger scale (nearly one inch to the mile), included hamlets and farms as well as towns, villages and roads, and for the first time showed the parish boundaries. This edition, by Professor W L D Ravenhill, is the first facsimile of this rare map (extant in only three copies), and is presented (like the original) in 13 separate sheets: one of the whole county and 12 of its parts. These are supplied in a hard case, together with a detailed introduction, and a study of the place-names by Dr O J Padel.

Download or read book Mapping and Charting in Early Modern England and France written by Christine Petto and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping and Charting for the Lion and the Lily: Map and Atlas Production in Early Modern England and France is a comparative study of the production and role of maps, charts, and atlases in early modern England and France, with a particular focus on Paris, the cartographic center of production from the late seventeenth century to the late eighteenth century, and London, which began to emerge (in the late eighteenth century) to eclipse the once favored Bourbon center. The themes that carry through the work address the role of government in map and chart making. In France, in particular, it is the importance of the centralized government and its support for geographic works and their makers through a broad and deep institutional infrastructure. Prior to the late eighteenth century in England, there was no central controlling agency or institution for map, chart, or atlas production, and any official power was imposed through the market rather than through the establishment of institutions. There was no centralized support for the cartographic enterprise and any effort by the crown was often challenged by the power of Parliament which saw little value in fostering or supporting scholar-geographers or a national survey. This book begins with an investigation of the imagery of power on map and atlas frontispieces from the late sixteenth century to the seventeenth century. In the succeeding chapters the focus moves from county and regional mapping efforts in England and France to the “paper wars” over encroachment in their respective colonial interests. The final study looks at charting efforts and highlights the role of government support and the commercial trade in the development of maritime charts not only for the home waters of the English Channel, but the distant and dangerous seas of the East Indies.

Download or read book William Faden and Norfolk's Eighteenth Century Landscape written by Andrew Macnair and published by Windgather Press. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Faden's map of Norfolk, published in 1797, was one of a large number of surveys of English counties produced in the second half of the eighteenth century. This book, with accompanying DVD, presents a new digital version of the map, and explains how this can be interrogated to produce a wealth of new historical information. It discusses the making of the Norfolk map, and Faden's own career, within the wider context of the eighteenth-century "cartographic revolution". It explores what the map, and others like it, can tell us about contemporary social and economic geography. But it also shows how, carefully examined, the map can also inform us about the development of the Norfolk landscape in much more remote periods of time. The book includes a digital version of the map, on DVD. Andrew Macnair is Research Fellow at the School of History in the University of East Anglia; Tom Williamson is Professor of History and Head of the Landscape Group at the University of East Anglia.

Book excerpt: Their principal objective is to explore the ways in which maps have interacted with society in England's past, to analyse the roles that maps have played and the uses to which they have been put. It is often a story of discontinuity rather than evolution, but the authors recognise many connections across the centuries, at the same time seeking to avoid too insular a view noting the influence of ongoing intellectual and cartographic developments in the rest of Europe."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Lanhydrock Atlas written by Paul Holden and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manuscript estate maps provide an invaluable link to past physical landscapes and previous human existence. The Lanhydrock Atlas is no exception. Each of its 258 highly-decorated maps opens a door into the lost world of life in the seventeenth century, and brings to life not only the physical lie of the land but the stories of the people and their lives. These documents record the widely-scattered Cornish landholdings of a single gentry family - the Robartes of Lanhydrock - during the 1690s, the period when the family's wealth and possessions were at their most extensive. Though unsigned, there is sufficient stylistic and circumstantial evidence to support the confident attribution of the maps to Joel Gascoyne, one of the foremost cartographers of the time. In addition to the painstaking listing of the field names, acreages and agrarian uses of Robartes land from St Just in the far west of the county to The Lizard in the south and as far east as the River Tamar separating Cornwall from Devon, the maps also feature topographical details of the Cornish landscape such as buildings, coastlines, roads and rivers which have become an important resource for historians. In this book the National Trust makes available for the first time the complete set of maps which comprise the Lanhydrock Atlas. The superb quality of the reproductions is complemented by a detailed commentary on the individual maps by Dr Oliver J. Padel, and by essays from Paul Holden on the history of the Robartes family and from Peter Herring on the interpretation of the Cornish landscape in the Atlas. The publication has been made possible by generous grants from the Piet Mendels Foundation and from Cornwall County Council.
