MAP-MAKING TO 1900

This handbook, a historical glossary of cartographic innovations and their diffusion, has been published by the Royal Society on behalf of the International Cartographic Association. Prepared for presentation at the meeting of the ICA at Moscow in August 1976, the booklet is the first publication of the ICA Working Group on the history of cartography, established August 1976 as a Commission of the ICA. It comprises a preliminary study of the comprehensive edition of the historical glossary, to be published by the ICA Commission in 1980. Edited by Helen Wallis, Chairman of the Commission, the handbook includes a preface by Professor A. H. Robinson, immediate past President of the ICA, an introductory chapter setting out the aims and methods of the project, and 26 sample entries by contributors from various countries.
