A GUIDE TO COLLECTING MAPS
OF THE BRITISH ISLES

County maps distinctive by the panel listing the main towns with their market and fair days
Chorographia Britanniae or a New Set of Maps of all the Counties in England and Wales...
Despite the title there are no individual Welsh county maps in this atlas. Wales is features on two Maps North Wales and South Wales. The design for this series is unique in that each map has down the left hand side a panel which lists the main towns of the in the county and their market and fair days. An interesting addition. Beneath each map is the publisher's imprint and collectors will find specimens bearing the date 1741 and other bearing the date 1742. The 1741 maps show fewer place names. Although specimens of this atlas with early hand colouring do exist this popular handy sized tome was mainly published uncoloured so on many specimens the colouring on maps will have been done more recently.

I have been buying and selling antique maps since the early 1960's during which time I had a gallery in Watergate Street, Chester for 30 years. I am now able to offer through my websites a personal service to map and print collectors.
