Maps and colours : a complex relationship / edited by Diana Lange, Benjamin van der Linde.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction / Diana Lange and Benjamin van der Linde -- Part 1. Unlocking the History of Maps by Reading Their Colours -- Part 2. Understanding Past Representations of Territories in Europe through Colours on Maps -- Part 3. De-coding Map Colouring Practices beyond Europe -- Part 4. Examining the Materiality of Maps as a Key to Past Mapping Practices.

"Colours make the map: they affect the map's materiality, content, and handling. With a wide range of approaches, 14 case studies from various disciplines deal with the colouring of maps from different geographical regions and periods. Connected by their focus on the (hand)colouring of the examined maps, the authors demonstrate the potential of the study of colour to enhance our understanding of the material nature and production of maps and the historical, social, geographical and political context in which they were made. Contributors are: Diana Lange, Benjamin van der Linde, Jörn Seemann, Tomasz Panecki, Chet van Duzer, Marian Coman, Anne Christine Lien, Juliette Dumasy-Rabineau, Nadja Danilenko, Sang-hoon Jang, Anna Boroffka, Stephanie Zehnle, Haida Liang, Sotiria Kogou, Luke Butler, Elke Papelitzky, Richard Pegg, Lucia Pereira Pardo, Neil Johnston, Rose Mitchell, and Annaleigh Margey"-- Provided by publisher.
