Cumberl&, an original antique map by R. Morden published in London, 1695-1722-. Copperplate, coloured. Map size 43 x 36 cm, overall mounted size 58.5 x 52.5 cm. An attractive & popular map of Cumberl&. Considering the popularity & success of Camden's Britannia, first issued with maps in 1607, it is surprising that it was not until the end of the seventeenth century that a new edition was prepared. Robert Morden (d.1703) was commissioned to engrave a set of county maps for Edmund Gibson's new edition. Morden's first series of maps were rejected as being too small, & these were later published in Morden's New Description & State of Engl&, first issued in 1701, & subsequently re-issued in Cox's Magna Britannia, in the 1720s. Morden finally produced a new set of maps on a larger scale which were used in Gibson's editions published in 1695, 1722 as here, circa 1730, 1753 & 1772. The maps were based on the most up-to-date surveys where available, although some drew on Saxton & Speed, & were engraved by Sutton Nicholls & John Sturt. The maps are plain & simple, invariably with decorative title surround, & charmingly engraved. Their detail, convenient size, visual attraction & antiquity make them among the most popular of all early county maps. Antique maps from various original publishers are presented on the Stanford ...

Map size 19 x 25 cm, overall mounted size 34.5 x 40.5 cm. An attractive map of the county complete with the major roads. Borough towns are shown with stars identifying the number of members returned to parliament & Places where Fairs are kept have a Line under the Name thus. Ellis (d.1796) was a prolific English engraver of the late eighteenth century who joined with William Palmer to produce a set of English county maps, published in Ellis' New English Atlas, in 1765. The maps were later used in Ellis' English Atlas; or a Complete Cartography of England & Wales published in 1766, & reprinted in 1768
- this map comes from the 1768 edition. Ellis engraved some of the maps himself, while others were engraved by Louis de la Rochette, Palmer & W. Fowler.

Cumberl&, an original antique map by G. Cole / J. Roper published in London, 1810-1843. Copperplate, coloured. Map size 17 x 23 cm, overall mounted size 32.5 x 38.5 cm. This detailed map of Cumberland is from Dugdale's England & Wales Delineated. The map was drawn by G. Cole & engraved by John Roper for publication first in The Beauties Of England & Wales, issued in parts, from c.1804.

The maps also show the division of the counties into hundreds or wapontakes. They are representative of the functional nineteenth-century approach to cartography, yet are not unattractive.
