Yesterday I attended the Press Preview of the exhibition (opening to the public today) "Magnificent Maps: Power, Propaganda and Art" at the British Library, London. I can confirm that this is indeed a MAGNIFICENT exhibition displaying items (mostly from the Library's collection of 4 1/2 million maps) which anyone who likes maps must see. It is a once in a lifetime experience and Peter Barber, Head of Map Collections at the BL and Map Curator, Tom Harper, are to be congratulated. The exhibition includes the largest atlas in the World and probably the smallest (from Queen Anne's dollhouse at Windsor) and is packed with items which you may never have a chance to see again. Just go; it's wonderful. Valerie G. Newby Editor, IMCoS Journal [email protected]
