The Map Tour

The Map Tour

Hugh Thomson draws on the Royal Geographical Society’s collection of maps to present a richly illustrated study of tourism structured around the journeys of great travel writers and the maps they would have known. Starting with Daniel Defoe and James Boswell’s tours of Britain, the book traces the routes of the Grand Tourists; the 19th-century adventurers, including Mark Twain in Egypt and Isabella Bird in Persia; and ends with Bruce Chatwin in Afghanistan and a tourist’s map of the country from the 1960s.
