| Résumé: | Introduction: finding the consumers of sixteenth-century maps -- Capturing the world on paper: the visual tradition and mapmaking -- The commerce of cartography: printing, price, and Francesco Rosselli -- A buyer's market: map ownership in Venice and Florence, 1460-1630 -- A world unknown to the ancients: the demand for cartographic novelty -- The power of knowledge: education and curiosity in cartographic prints -- Making an impression: the display of maps in sixteenth-century Italian homes -- Conclusion: worldly consumers and the meaning of maps "This book focuses on how inexpensive maps, produced for the masses, accrued cultural value for everyday consumers in Renaissance Italy, who wanted to own and display maps in their homes as works of art--not for practical use, but for their cultural capital as commodities"--ECIP info |
