It addresses the history of their development, the sources cartographers used in creating them, and the political, economic, historical, and philosophical messages their symbols convey. Cartouches are the most visually appealing parts of maps, and also spaces where the cartographer uses decoration to express his or her interests--so they are key to interpreting maps. The book discusses thirty-three cartouches in detail, which range from 1569 to 1821, and were chosen for the richness of their imagery. The book will open your eyes to a new way of looking at maps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chet Van Duzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004505180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004505186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 8.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Chet Van Duzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48487123976447,"sku":"9789004505186","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3a63b78-8339-42c2-bcbe-42fbfb081e7d.jpg?v=1778058501","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frames-that-speak-chet-van-duzer-9789004505186","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
