Dan and Kris The repository I can think off is mentioned in the original email below.
Other individuals that immediately spring to mind are: Alfred Wainwright: http://www.wainwright.org.uk/ I can provide more details, as I have done quite a bit of research on his mapping. For instance he illustrated Richard Adams' Plague Dogs in first edition, and several other books. He was one of a small band of "autograph book" producers (cf Blake, Carroll, Lear - who may well have included maps). Mark Richards: http://www.markrichards.info/ whose early guide books certainly included his hand-drawn maps (after the style of Wainright, who was a sort of mentor), but latterly I don't think have been Christopher Tolkein: http://www.tolkienmaps.com/tolkienmapsstory.html according to link above produced the original maps for his father's books Stephen Raw: http://www.tolkienmaps.com/stephenraw.html Part by hand, part by computer, redoing work of Christopher Tolkein Kris: I suggest you re-post your enquiry to carto-soc and see if you pick up any more responses: http://www.soc.org.uk/cartosoc.htm Cheers STEVE SoC Chair -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Karran Sent: 11 June 2009 22:00 To: Talk Openstreetmap Cc: [email protected] Subject: [OSM-talk] Fwd: General inquiry: hand drawn maps Does anyone in the community have some good hand-drawn maps that they would like to share for possible inclusion in an upcoming book? I have vague recollections of a repository of these sorts of maps a while back, but I don't remember the details. I've shared a few sketches but none of them are particularly readable, so I'm sure there must be better examples out there :) Cheers, Dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: General inquiry: hand drawn maps Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:53:49 -0400 From: Kris Harzinski <[email protected]> To: [email protected] CC: Kris Harzinski <[email protected]> I'm currently working on a book of maps that will be published by Princeton Architectural Press and would greatly appreciate any help you can provide. The book is based on my web project, the Hand Drawn Map Association, and focuses on maps that people draw for one another to provide directions or tell a story. Most of the maps in the collection are by non-professionals, but I'm interested in framing the book in the larger context of the human desire to record the world around us. To that end, I'm looking for some historical or contemporary maps that are specifically sketched or drawn by hand - not necessarily well executed manuscript maps - but maps that are more crude, rough, gestural, etc. I'm specifically interested in maps that are drawn by well known individuals. Again, I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
