The sailing frigate : a history in ship models /Robert Gardiner ; illustrated from the collections of the National Maritime Museum. "Ship models offer more details than even the best plans and demonstrate exactly what the ships looked like in a way that even the finest marine painter could not achieve. This book is the first of a series which will take selections of the best models to tell the story of specific ship types - in this case, the evolution of the cruising ships under sail."--Provided by the publisher. 2012. • BOOK • 3 copies available. 086.5:629.123.1
Frames that speak : cartouches on early modern maps /by Chet Van Duzer. "This lavishly illustrated book is the first systematic exploration of cartographic cartouches, the decorated frames that surround the title, or other text or imagery, on historic maps. It addresses the history of their development, the sources cartographers used in creating them, and the political, economic, historical, and philosophical messages their symbols convey. Cartouches are the most visually appealing parts of maps, and also spaces where the cartographer uses decoration to express his or her interests--so they are key to interpreting maps. The book discusses thirty-three cartouches in detail, which range from 1569 to 1821, and were chosen for the richness of their imagery. The book will open your eyes to a new way of looking at maps."--Provided by publisher. [2023] • FOLIO • 2 copies available. 744.3/7
