It was a pleasure to work together, many thanks to all contributors, who made this book absolutely colourful. 😊🗺️🎨 @WiseLange
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. brill.ws/MTP3
