  Egmond, Marco van COVENS & MORTIER: A MAP PUBLISHING HOUSE IN AMSTERDAM 1685-1866
Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2009 9.5 x 12.5 inches hardcover, dust jacket 600 pages, plus 100 pages on CD-ROM
During almost two centuries from 1685 to 1866 the well-known Dutch map publishing house of Covens & Mortier supplied the then-modern world with maps and atlases. From the late seventeenth century, this company developed rapidly into one of the leading wholesalers in cartographic products. As a result, almost every present-day map lover is familiar with the name Covens & Mortier. Moreover, Covens & Mortier maps can be found in map collections all over the world. There is hardly a cartographic exhibition catalogue to be found in which the name of this Amsterdam firm is not mentioned.

Despite this great reputation, until recently, map historians groped in the dark about the exact development, size, and meaning of this publishing house. To what internal and external circumstances did Covens & Mortier owe its great expansion? How did they sell their maps and atlases? In which cartographic areas did innovation take place? What was the firm's position from an international point of view? Thanks to the results of ten years of intensive research into the publishing activities of Covens & Mortier, these questions can finally be answered. In this richly illustrated book, the definitive research results are presented. Furthermore, an extensive carto-bibliography with original and derivative maps, published by Covens & Mortier, has been added.

Volume 8 in the series Utrecht Studies on the History of Cartography, this work comes with a bibliography, indices, and several appendices on CD-ROM, including a genealogy of the families Covens & Mortier, estate inventories, catalogues of maps and copperplates, and references to Covens & Mortier in contemporary periodicals and booksellers' books. Illustrated with nearly 500 full-color images.

  Fordham, Herbert George SOME NOTABLE SURVEYORS & MAP MAKERS OF THE SIXTEENTH, SEVENTEENTH, & EIGHTEENTH CENTURES AND THEIR WORK.
Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2005 8vo. cloth xii, 99 pages
Sir George Fordham was born in 1859 and produced many publications describing the maps and road books of the British Isles and France and donated his personal road book collection to the Royal Geographical Society. The Society triennially awards the Sir George Fordham Award for Cartobibliography, a 'term introduced by him for the cataloguing of maps on systematic plan'. This book provides an outline of the development and the progress of the art and science of cartography during the long period which precedes the modern systematic surveys organized by the Governments of the countries of Europe and the American Continent.
He begins with the work of Christopher Saxton, a work he regards as laying the foundation of the conception of modern cartography. He also covers the famous French cartographer Nicolas Sanson. Another chapter looks at the foundation of exact and scientific survey by successive members of the Cassini family, and also to the work of the British Ordnance Survey. Many others are covered as well.

  Gestel, Paula van, Joop Kaashoek, Hans van der Zwan, Henk Schipper, Rob Poelijoe, and Jaap Molenaar MAPS IN BOOKS OF RUSSIA AND POLAND PUBLISHED IN THE NETHERLANDS TO 1800
Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2011 9.5 x 12 inches hardcover, dust jacket 750 pages
This publication originated from a decision to embark on researching maps in books. Maps in Books of Russia and Poland is a unique combination of maps, plans, and views that concerns the historical and geographical works of Russia and Poland published in the Netherlands prior to 1800. Both maps and books are elaborately described, analyzed and indexed; much attention has also been given to the authors, engravers and publishers.

Subdividing the maps according to their regions, this book brings to light the specific interrelation between the various works by differing authors. The comprehensive introduction describes the history of Russia and Poland from various points of view for specific subjects and comes richly illustrated with over 100 images. The cartobibliography contains illustrations for each of the 700 maps described and the bibliography features a large number of title pages and portraits. A large folding view of the city of Moscow (12 x 72 inches) by Cornelis de Bruijn (1711) has been added in facsimile at the back of this publication. Summaries in Russian and Polish complete this publication.

This unusual combination of research objectives should appeal to map and book historians and collectors alike.

Maps in books of Russia and Poland is part 13 of the Utrecht Studies on the History of Cartography. The series has been prepared under the direction of the Research Program URU-Explokart of the University Utrecht and is aimed at both researchers and laymen with an interest in these matters.
