The 28th International Conference on the History of Cartography, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 14–19 July 2019

Abstract

After 30 years the International Conference on the History of Cartography (ICHC) returned to Amsterdam for the 28th meeting entitled ‘Early Maps, Modern Perspectives. Understanding Early Maps in the Twenty-First Century’. In fact, there was no better time for the ICHC to come back to this city renowned for its centuries-long map-making tradition, than 2019—the year of Rembrandt, filled with events celebrating the painter and the Dutch Golden Age.
