I deal with the treatment of hills and mountain ranges in late XVIII century up to mid nineteenth century in a paper already mentioned under a different subject (question of engraving): Cartography, Art and Mimesis. The Imitation of Nature, in Land Surveying in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries, in: Observing Nature – The Osmotic Dynamics of Romanticism Representing Experience 1800 – 1850, (ed.) Erna Fiorentini, Berlin, Reimer 2007, pp. 57-71). I also reproduce in the paper (in colour) some tables of A. M. Perrot, Modèles de Topographie, which became unsurpassed model for topographical drawings in Europe. I also discuss about the involvement of artists (landscape painters) in large scale mapping and especially in drawing mountains in topographical maps in Italy and other European countries.

Dear Mrs. Day,

A good entry is Eduard Imhof's 'Cartographic relief presentation',
especially the first chapter on historical developments. The 2007 reprint
(by ESRI) is online at Google Books:

I am working on topographical drawings in the papers relating to the
mid-nineteenth century
Ordnance Survey of Ireland and I am seeking references and sources in
relation to the depiction of relief.
Are there any other techniques for showing relief in early nineteenth century map making apart from hachuring or shading? Are there are any
sources for the training of hill sketchers apart from Yoland Jones
(Cartographic Jnl, vol. 11 (1974))
