Description
This publication accompanied the exhibition entitled “The Cyprus of the European Cartographers, 16th–20th Century”, held in Nicosia to coincide with the 22nd International Symposium of the International Map Collectors’ Society (IMCoS) (14–16 October 2003), which was organised by the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation. It includes 307 cartographic items, almost the entire Map Collection of the Foundation. Maps are arranged in chronological order, according to the date each map first appeared in print, followed by one or more descriptions of a map or maps based on the specific print. The introduction on “The History of the Cartography of Cyprus” is the work of the late Andreas Hadjipaschalis and first appeared in Maps and Atlases (Nicosia 1989).
