About
"This book investigates more than one thousand maps and nearly two dozen map producers, and analyzes the map as a cultural artifact, map producers as a group, and the array of map viewers over the course of two centuries in France. The book focuses on situated knowledge or "localized" interests reflected in these geographical productions. Through the lens of mapmaking, this book examines the relationship between power and the practice of patronage, geography, and commerce in early modern France."--Jacket.
