BOOK DISCOVERY
London Travel Map
First published 1997
London Travel Map, published by Globetrotter in 1997, is identified by its title as a cartographic travel resource focused on London. The supplied metadata includes no subject headings beyond the bibliographic record, so this entry does not infer particular landmarks, routes, or map conventions. Instead, it considers the travel map as a tool for translating urban space into a navigable representation. Such a format raises questions about selection, scale, orientation, and how visual simplification can influence movement through a city.
