A is for Atlas
July’s book of the month. This beautifully illustrated publication is full of unique and intriguing maps and globes, both Earthly and celestial, all from the collection of Royal Museums Greenwich. Take a (metaphorical) trip to Mars, look up at the stars in the night sky and journey along the world’s greatest rivers from the comfort of your home.
A fascinating, lavishly illustrated celebration of cartography, featuring charts, maps, globes and atlases.
The map collection at Royal Museums Greenwich comprises about 40,000 maps, charts, globes and atlases, covering a time period from the thirteenth century to the present day.
Curator of Cartography Dr Megan Barford explores the variety of stories hidden within the collection, highlighting the materials, techniques, makers, users, genres and features, to reveal the different worlds in which maps were produced and consumed.
From imperial rule to labour solidarity, and from sumptuous display to scrap paper, A is for Atlas presents the Royal Museums Greenwich map collection as it's never been seen before.
