How to Identify Old Maps and Globes

Raymond Lister's book, How to Identify Old Maps and Globes, is a classic collector's guide published by G. Bell & Sons that helps users date and authenticate antique maps and globes by examining materials (paper, ink), printing techniques (engraving, plate marks), and historical details, featuring illustrations and a substantial list of cartographers/publishers from 1500-1850 to aid in identification.

It's a practical resource for understanding the historical context, construction, and distinguishing features of early cartography. 

First edition in original cloth with pictorial dustwrapper. Some scattered foxing to edges and endpapers. A very good copy.
