The AGS Library has published a new book, <Manuscript and Annotated
Maps in the American Geographical Society Library: A Cartobibliography>.
The 77-page soft-cover volume was compiled by AGSL librarian Jovanka
Ristic' with the assistance of Scott McEathron.
The book offers descriptive entries on maps in AGSL that were drawn by
hand dating from 1452 to the 1940's. Many of the maps listed are
extremely rare, beginning with the oldest example, the 1452 "Map of the
World'" by Venetian cartographer Giovanni Leardo. The
<Cartobibliography> also has entries on AGSL's printed maps with
manuscript annotations, including nautical charts notated by Charles
Lindbergh as he planned the first trans-Atlantic flight.
The book has a bibliography, a comprehensive index and several appendices.
Publication of the <Cartobibliography> was supported by grants to the
AGS Library.
