DESCRIPTION:This paper examines map collecting during the formative period
  of the National Maritime Museum\, which opened to the public in 1937. It 
 looks at the roles of book dealers and collectors in shaping taste\, and h
 ow that was combined with insights from the new field of the history of ca
 rtography and a powerful reactionary interwar navalism. The paper conclude
 s by thinking through what the formative argument of the Museum's map coll
 ection means for working with it in the twenty-first century.\n\n"Book to
