Description
Maps and plans of cities are not only part of historical cartography and surveying, but in many cases also beautiful works of art that delight both the eye and the soul. This richly illustrated book presents a selection of different types of maps and plans of Czech, Moravian and Silesian towns and cities from across the centuries, chosen for their artistic, cartographic or thematic interest. The selected cartographic works are accompanied by expert yet accessible and engaging commentary that explores the phenomenon of the city and the development of towns and cities in the medieval and modern periods. It views urban places from various perspectives, as administrative and economic centres as well as centres of education, culture and tourism. The contents are in Czech.
