This book is dedicated to the history of European cartography from the 15th to the 19th centuries. It demonstrates how, during the Age of Discovery, maps were not only a practical tool for navigators but also served as an important source of knowledge and a means of disseminating new ideas and understanding of the world. Maps combined practical navigational functions with high artistic expression, becoming not only a working tool for navigators but also art objects and collectors' items.
The reader will learn how nautical charts were used during navigation or in preparation for a voyage, and how the style and structure of maps changed over time. The publication reveals how maps reflected the worldview of people of the past and helped them explore the oceans and seas, rivers and ports.
