Documentary series looking at maps in incredible detail to highlight their artistic attributions and reveal the stories that they tell.


The story of the Hereford Mappa Mundi, the largest intact medieval wall map in the world

Three visions of London the 1682 Morgan Map, a1746 map and a contempory image

Paul Barber of the British Library discusses the golden age of Dutch cartography and examines the importance of atlases to the commercial endeavours of the 17th century. As maps became a means of expressing power, wealth and control, they became increasingly elaborate and artistic - and the documentary visits the world's largest atlas, a 24-volume example covering just the Netherlands, and the Klencke Atlas, made for Charles II's restoration in 1660.

The series concludes by delving into the world of satyrical maps
