 Washington in Maps features, in full color, over 100 glorious maps dating from the seventeenth century to the present. From the most splendid antique maps of Washington to the extraordinary, otherworldly satellite imagery of today, the book includes maps by Thomas Jefferson and Pierre L'Enfant, the man upon whose design modern Washington now stands; a map by Captain John Smith from 1608; and maps by the National Capitol Planning Commission, among many others. Maps detail both the current reality of a place as well as offer imaginative renderings of future possibility, often becoming in the process something of extraordinary beauty in their own right. Washington in Maps charts a passionate course through this terrain and serves as a testament to the wonder, artistry, and intelligence that these maps manifest.  176 pages - 9" x 10" - (11/02)
