Parts of the Rumsey Collection is available on the web--and now available in Cartographica Extraordinaire: The Historical Map Transformed, an oversized collection of selected maps which tell distinct stories of how areas became civilized and how cartographic science has changed perceptions of land value and land use. The color photos are juxtaposed and displayed perfectly in a lovely survey of the historical map's history and transformation, making Cartographic Extraordinaire simply a 'must' for any college-level collection.
