About This Item
1814 Cartography 1ed Construction MAPS Scottish Jamieson Geography Illustrated
Alexander Jamieson was an early 19th-century Scottish textbook writer known for his works of grammar, mechanics, and geography. It was, however, his geography and atlas books that brought him his most prestige. In fact, his 1814 treatise "Construction of Maps" proved to be an important reference for cartographers and historians, filled with impressive folding engravings and maps. Jamieson describes techniques for drawing longitude and latitude lines, correctly illustrating rivers, and much more!
