Published maps, “before” and “after”

Samples of published, commissioned maps, displayed in their “before” and “after” states. The “before” versions, from which the maps were rendered, are typically the rough sketch or description of an author, or a poor quality original. Finished maps were designed for print publication in black and white and are displayed at actual size unless otherwise indicated. Sketches are displayed at reduced scale.
