The Early Cartography of the Pacific

Ristow calls this "an excellent study of those maps from Ptolemy to 1798 important in the development of the cartography of the Pacific area, with facsimiles of 22 of the 104 maps described". Ristow 393. Along with a narrative history of the cartography of the region, Wroth provides a very useful cartography describing in great detail the hundred or so important maps included. There are full annotations and cross references to other important cartographies and bibliographies.
