Atlas The Phantom Atlas | Simon & Schuster
Atlas The Phantom Atlas | Simon & Schuster
Een fascinerend boekwerk met de grootste mythes, leugens en blunders die ooit op kaart zijn verschenen. In een luxe hardcover uitgave met mooie stofomslag. The Phantom Atlas is an atlas of the world not as it ever existed, but as it was thought to be. These marvellous and mysterious phantoms - non-existent islands, invented mountain ranges, mythical civilisations and other fictitious geography - were all at various times presented as facts on maps and atlases. This book is a collection of striking antique maps that display the most erroneous cartography, with each illustration accompanied by the story behind it. Exploration, map-making and mythology are all brought together to create a colourful tapestry of monsters, heroes and volcanoes; swindlers, mirages and murderers. Sometimes the stories are almost impossible to believe, and remarkably, some of the errors were still on display in maps published in the 21st century. Throughout much of the 19th century more than 40 different mapma…

Productomschrijving

ALPENGLOW takes the reader through a journey of personal adventure, immersive art and breathtaking scenery, combining inspiration with detailed local knowledge. Climbing the 4000m peaks of the Alps is one of the great and enduring challenges in mountaineering. It is a project that requires endurance, courage, skill, and humility.   Whether you are a lover of mountain landscapes, an aspiring alpinist, or already a veteran of many adventures, this book will provide a wealth of original and inspiring material to help with planning future excursions or simply immersing yourself in the beauty of the high mountain   Drawings The photography in the book is matched by a series of finely wrought pencil drawings. Several of these are available as luxury prints to complement the book.   Finsteraarhorn pencil drawing (12 x 8 cm) example   The drawings for this project are usually smaller than a typical postcard. Each one is based on photographs and made with finely-sharpened pencils whilst looking through a magnifying glass.   I usually start each layer of detail from one side and work steadily to the other to avoid smudging the fragile image with my hands. I rarely use an eraser as once the marks are made they are too small and fragile to modify. Each drawing takes between 2 and 10 weeks to complete.
  • Climbs on all 82 of the 4000m summits of the Alps
  • Unique PENCIL DRAWINGS 
  • ACTION PHOTOS of every route 
  • Exquisite LANDSCAPE IMAGES of each mountain
