This very scarce reference work, complete in three volumes, was compiled by Ann-Mari Mickwitz and Leena Miekkavaara. The Nordenskiold Collection is one of the most extensive cartographic collections in the world. 730 atlases and books are described, with some illustrations both b/w and colored; thus this catalog is an excellent carto-bibliography. While Volume 1 is fairly common, Volumes 2 and 3 are nearly impossible to acquire. 250/322/253 pp. Hardbound in illustrated paper-covered boards.
