Timothy Adair is a Scot, a MapMaker in Lisbon during the Age of Discovery. Through his office over the harbor parade fools of a special kind: Kings, Famous Explorers, Clergy, Natives and Italian Agents. What the MapMaker wants most is to be left alone with his `Mathematica' to draw his lines, create his colorful maps, simply do his work. His talents however have everyone chasing the him in their own pursuits of conquest, gold, God and empire.
'My fascination is with cartography. I love the discretion of the lines and hope of the colors, and boldness of the illustrations, all from the dance of the possible latent in the mathematics...What a glorious time to be alive!'
