NEW: MAPS IN BOOKS OF RUSSIA AND POLAND NOW AVAILABLE
Maps in Books of Russia and Poland. Published in the Netherlands to 1800.
by
P. van Gestel-van het Schip, Joop Kaashoek, Jaap
Molenaar, Rob Poelijoe, Henk Schipper and Hans van der Zwan
Volume 13 of the Utrecht Studies on the History of Cartography (Explokart).
The decision to embark on researching maps in
books has resulted in a publication, presenting
an unique combination of maps, plans and views.
It concerns those, tucked away in historical and
geographical works on Russia and Poland, prior to
1800 and published in the Netherlands. Both maps
and books are elaborately described, analysed and
indexed; much attention has been lavished on
their authors, engravers and publishers to boot.
The book contains an introduction with 10
interesting essays on diverse subjects like 'The
history of the Russian Empire' , 'The Dutch share
in the cartography of Russia', "The mapping of
various separate regions' and 'The map-imag of
Russia and Poland in Dutch atlases of the 16th
and early 17th centuries', besides a full and
extensive bibliography of all the books published
in the Netherlands to 1800 on Poland and Russia,
that is to say: also the books without maps and a
carto-bibliography, describing all the maps which
are contained in these books divided into fiive
sections: (1) The Russian Empire, (2) The Western
border Regions, including Poland (3) The Southern
border regions, (4) larger Regions, and (5) Composite plates.
A large folding view of the city of Moscow (30 x
185 cm.) by Cornelis de Bruijn (1711) has been
added in facsimile at the back of this publication.
In English with Polish and Russian summaries.
