Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While literally hundreds of books exist on the subject of "cartographic" maps, The Art of Illustrated Maps is the first book EVER to fully explore the world of conceptual, "imaginative" mapping. Author John Roman refers to illustrated maps as "the creative nonfiction of cartography," and his book reveals how and why the human mind instinctively recognizes and accepts the artistic license evoked by this unique art form. Drawing from numerous references, The Art of Illustrated Maps traces the 2000-year history of a specialized branch of illustration that historians claim to be "the oldest variety of primitive art." This book features the dynamic works of many professional map artists from around the world and documents the creative process as well as the inspirations behind contemporary, 21st-century illustrated maps.

This contest, sponsored by Stroly Inc., challenged artists around the world to create a map of a place that is very special to them. While over 300 maps were submitted to this contest, 100 of them appear in this book. They represent a global sample of the various special places chosen by 100 different artists. Some chose to illustrate their home town, while others picked a favorite vacation spot. Some maps tell a story, others provide fun itineraries, a few share insightful histories, and they all beautifully celebrate a place that is indeed very special.

For example, do you know where to go for a really great bike ride in Sussex? Do you know how to find the lovely Kew Garden outside London? Or, how about all the fun things to do in Reykjavík? A fantastic hike from coast to coast in England? What to eat in Ireland? In 2011, the brother-and-sister design duo Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell founded the website They Draw & Travel. Today it is the largest collection of online illustrated maps created by artists, illustrators and doodlers from around the world. This book is a selection of 96 illustrated maps of places in the UK and Iceland envisioned by the artists who contribute to the vast and diverse creative community on They Draw & Travel. Experienced on the road or in the chair, this compendium of 96 illustrated maps is an exciting way to get to know the UK and Iceland through the eyes of artists.
