5203 |aThis coffee table book traces 400 years of Canada’s history through the maps that recorded it before satellite imaging and geographic information systems. It also follows the history of map-making, from woodblock printing to lithography, copperplate engraving, offset printing, and, on the battlefield, sun printing using blueprints. The book tells of the people who made the maps and stories behind the maps. It also celebrates Canadian surveying and mapping ingenuity in the face of the country’s almost insurmountable landscape.
