“100 IMPORTANT ITEMS” - Kunstantikvariat Pama AS

We are pleased to announce the availability of the recently released “Maps and Mapping of Norway, 1602—1855”. This is the first
cartobibliography of the country, and it illustrates and discusses every map of Norway published during the selected time period. The
book begins with the first printed map of Norway alone, a miniature map by Barent Langenes published by Cornelis Claesz in Leiden
in 1602, and includes the blossoming of native Norwegian mapmaking during the first half of the nineteenth century.
The author, William B. Ginsberg, has undertaken a significant amount of original research, during which he has discovered a number of
new maps and variant states that are recorded for the first time. In addition to the formal cartobibliography, three essays—on county,
route, and local maps—explore the richness of maps of Norway and suggest areas for further investigation.
With 328 pages and more than 300 illustrations, Maps and Mapping of Norway is a treat for the eye as well as for the mind. This work,
which is sure to become the standard reference in its field, is also available in a deluxe, slipcased limited edition.
The present work succeeds and complements the author’s previous cartobibliography, Printed Maps of Scandinavia
and the Arctic, 1482—1601. The earlier volume is also available at Kunstantikvariat PAMA.
