This comprehensive 600-page volume by Dr. Marco van Egmond examines the significance of the Covens & Mortier publishing house as it relates to the evolution of commercial cartography in the Netherlands. The volume examines the individual maps produced by the firm, how the company was organized and operated, and the organization's overall contributions to cartography during the 18th and early 19th century. The volume is lavishly illustrated and includes a detailed carto-bibliography for 168 maps. Various appendices accompany the volume on CD-ROM (housed in a sleeve on the inside rear cover). Published by Hes & de Graff in Houten, Netherlands. Hardbound in maroon cloth with gilt titles on front cover and spine and an illustrated dust jacket.
