The story of the exploration and birth of America is told afresh through the unique prism of hand-colored maps and engravings of the period.
Before photography and television, it was printed and hand-colored maps that brought home the thrill of undiscovered lands and the possibilities of exploration, while guiding armies on all sides through the Indian Wars and the clashes of the American Revolution. Only by looking through the prism of these maps, can we truly understand how and why America developed the way it did.
Mapping America illuminates with scene-setting text and more than 150 color imagesfrom the exotic and fanciful maps of Renaissance explorers to the magnificent maps of the Golden Age and the thrilling battle-maps and charts of the American Revolutionary War, in addition to paintings from the masters of eighteenth century art, scores of photographs, and detailed diagrams.
In total, this informative and lushly illustrated volume developed by rare maps collector Neal Asbury, host of Neal Asburys Made in America, and National Geographic historian Jean-Pierre Isbouts offers a new and immersive look at the ambition, the struggle, and the glory that attended and defined the exploration and making of America.
