The Cartography of Fictional Worlds
With Frieze Masters 2024 fast approaching, Daniel Crouch Rare Books has been featured in Country Life. Huon Mallalieu writes:
“Daniel Crouch, the London antiquarian map dealer, has created an exhibition of the cartography of fictional worlds over 2,700 years, ‘featuring maps of such magical lands as Middle Earth, Lilliput, Oz… there and back again’.
“Tolkien’s Middle Earth as portrayed by Pauline Baynes in 1970 is key; as the author said: ‘I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit (generally with meticulous care for distances). The other way about lands one in confusions and impossibilities, and in any case, it is weary work to compose a map from a story.”
