This hardcopy contains maps from many of the 80 plus organisations that are supporters of the festival, including government agencies, commercial map makers, artists and libraries and they cover a wide range of themes and map styles.
It is an A4, coffee table style publication with descriptions of each of the 68 maps and images accompanied by some general text. In total it will be 200 pages of full colour, highly detailed maps, charts and cartograms, artist impressions as well as aerial and satellite images ranging from the modern day back to the 17th century.
“The success of the London Map Exhibition, which has been displayed at events across London in the first few months of the festival, prompted many to ask where they could get copies of their particular favourite. By putting all the posters and many more maps into the book you can have the complete set to browse at your leisure.
The book has maps from all ages, but it has a particular focus on maps and images from the last 20 years, giving it a modern cartographic flavour. We think everyone will enjoy the detail and variety that this unique publication has to offer.” said Seppe Cassettari, chair of the organising group for the London Mapping Festival.
