Omschrijving

Explore the myths, legends, and folklore of London in this stunning new collection of fine art maps from leading British artist Adam Dant.

Maps of London Myth and Legend provides an idiosyncratic take on London's history in an all-new collection of intricate, absorbing, and beautiful maps. Giving a unique view of London, artist and cartographer Adam Dant surveys the city's past, present, and future from his studio in the East End. Beautiful, hugely imaginative, and packed with eye-catching detail, his astonishing maps offer a compelling view of the capital's history, lore, and myths.

Highlights include:

Creatures of London Legend, including Father Thames, the Barbican minotaur, and the tiger of Edgware
Londog, a canine cartography of the capital
Ghosts of Olde London, such as the clown Grimaldi, whose disembodied face is said to float around the Theatre Royal
Hell is the Northern Line, Dante's inferno transposed onto the London Underground as a Tube ride descent through the circles of hell according to station depth
Lies to Tell Tourists, for example that the River Thames has the same alcohol content as London Pride ale

Accompanying text by the artist gives the background to each cartographic artwork, revealing his inspirations and artistic process and outlining the folkloric tales that inspired them.

This beautiful collection offers a unique view of our history and life today, and is perfect for London enthusiasts, art lovers, folklore fanatics, and history buffs alike. Reproduced in large format, the maps invite the reader to study all the astonishing and densely packed detail within, guaranteeing hours of happy browsing.
