hard
to
believe
that
there
is
anyone
who
is
unmoved
by
early
maps
whose
interest
remains
unstirred
by
a
Speed
county
map,
or
whose
imagination
fails
to
respond
to
a
17th
century
map
of
far-off
lands.
There

simply
for
its
decorative
quahties
and
early
maps
are
undoubtedly
very
attractive
when
displayed
in
this
way.
They
have,
however,
so
much
more
to
offer
than
mere
decora-
tion.
They
epitomise
the
geographical
knowledge
and
the
customs
of
their
day;
their
ornamentation
reflects
contempor-
ary
artistic
style
and
taste;
their
colouring
is
often
brilliant;
the
development
of
the
techniques
by
which
they
were
made
is
full
of
interest;
so
too
are
the
mapmakers
themselves,
men
such
as
Mercator
geographer,
instrument
maker,
engraver
and
scribe,
at
one
time
accused
of
being
a
heretic,
inventor
of
the
projection
which
bears
his
name
and
the
man
who
used
the
word
'atlas'
for
the
first
time
to
denote
a
bound
collection
of
maps
or
John
Ogilby,
who
introduced
the
still
popular
'strip-map'
method
of
depicting
roads
in
1675,
and
whose
varied
career
and
talents
made
him
one
of
the
more
colour-
ful
personaUties
in
British
mapmaking.
If
this
small
book
can
do
anything
towards
persuading
an
unbeliever
of
the
attractions
of
early
maps
or,
alternatively,
add
to
the
enjoyment
of
the
converted
it
will
have
achieved
its
purpose.
