A beautful book for anyone interested in exploring the history of
trade in maps. Trade is the lifeblood of nations. It has provided
vital goods and wealth to countries and merchants from the ancient
Egyptians who went in search of gold and ivory to their
21st-century equivalents trading high-tech electronic equipment
from the Far East. In this beautiful book, more than 70 maps give a
visual representation of the history of World Commerce, accompanied
by text which tells the extraordinary story of the merchants,
adventurers, middle-men and monarchs who bought, sold, explored and
fought in search of profit and power. The maps are all works of
art, witnesses to history, and have a fascinating story to tell.
The maps include * Catalhoeyuk Plan, c. 6200BC * Babylonian Map of
the World, c. 600BC * Stone Map of China, 1136 * Hereford Mappa
Mundi, c. 1300 * Buondelmonti Map of Constantinople, c. 1420 * The
Waldseemuller Map, 1507 * James Rennell Map of Hindoostan, 1782 *
