Dear colleagues! Would you kindly name books or maybe articles on the history of the cartography of the British Empire and / or spatial perceptions in it? How the British created maps of their colonies and conceived space as such. Of course, I know these two books: Edney M.H. "Mapping an Empire: The Geographical Construction of British India, 1765 - 1843" and "The Imperial Map: Cartography and the Mastery of Empire" (ed. by J.R. Akerman). Are there others of the same high quality? :)
Dear Sir,
You can have a look at the following books... this is not an exhaustive list:
1. The Great Arc - John Keay
2. Making History, Drawing Territory: British Mapping in India, c. 1756-1905 - Ian Barrow
3. Mapping India - Manosi Lahiri
4. Historical Records of the Survey of India - Phillimore
