[0764900099.jpg] The Charting of the Oceans: Ten Centuries of
Maritime Maps - Peter Whitfield's The Charting Of The Oceans:
Ten Centuries Of Maritime Maps traces the history of maritime
and nautical charts, not as technical documents but as
eloquent witnesses to the discovery of the world beyond
Europe, and to man's evolving knowledge of the oceans. These
charts employed a vivid artistic idiom which expressed man's
passionate feeling for the sea: the gilded compasses, the
nightmarish sea-=creatures, the stately ships, the royal
crests -- all these were fused into a minor art-form which
flourished for four centuries. Superbly illustrated, The
Charting Of The Oceans presents some of the riches of
Europe's maritime and nautical chart traditions, together
with an absorbing narrative summarizing the vital role of
sea-power in European history. (Description from Amazon)
